Patent ID: 8794512

Claim:
A method involving an automated banking machine that is operable to cause financial transfers responsive at least in part to data read from data bearing records, (a) operating at least one sensor to sense at least one condition corresponding to compressive force acting between a top sheet of a stack and a rotating assembly of a sheet stacking device of the automated banking machine, wherein the machine includes at least one data reader, wherein the at least one data reader is operative to read user data corresponding to financial accounts, wherein the machine includes at least one display, wherein the at least one display is operative to provide outputs to users of the machine, wherein the machine includes at least one sheet receiving opening, wherein the sheet receiving opening is configured to receive sheets into the machine from users, wherein the machine includes at least one sheet analysis device, wherein the at least one sheet analysis device is operative to evaluate indicia on sheets received into the machine through the at least one sheet receiving opening, wherein the sheet stacking device is operative to produce a stack including a plurality of sheets that have been analyzed through operation of the at least one sheet analysis device, wherein the rotating assembly is operative to engage a sheet being moved toward the stack, move the sheet in engagement therewith, release the engaged sheet to the stack, and be adjacent to and in operatively engaged relation with the top sheet, wherein the sheet stacking device includes a support plate, wherein the support plate is movably mounted and configured to support the stack, wherein the sheet stacking device includes a drive, wherein the drive is in operative connection with the support plate, wherein the machine is associated with at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is in operative connection with the at least one data reader, the at least one display, the drive, and the at least one sensor, wherein the at least one processor is operative to cause financial transfers involving financial accounts corresponding to user data read by the at least one data reader, wherein the at least one processor is operative to cause operation of the drive responsive at least in part to the at least one sensor, wherein the at least one processor is operative to cause the drive to move the support plate responsive at least in part to compressive force acting between the rotating assembly and the top sheet; and (b) responsive at least in part to (a), operating the drive to move the support plate.
