Patent ID: 8870066

Claim:
Apparatus comprising: an automated banking machine that operates responsive at least in part to data read from data bearing records, wherein the machine includes: a housing, at least one input device in operative supported connection with the housing, wherein the at least one input device is operative to receive inputs from users of the machine, wherein the at least one input device includes a card reader, wherein the card reader is operative to read data from user cards, wherein read data is usable to identify at least one financial account, at least one output device in operative supported connection with the housing, wherein the at least one output device is operative to provide outputs including instructions concerning machine usage, at least one deposit accepting device in operative supported connection with the housing, wherein the at least one deposit accepting device is operative to read indicia on sheets received from machine users, at least one processor associated with the machine, wherein the at least one processor is in operative connection with the at least one input device, the at least one output device and the at least one deposit accepting device, wherein the at least one processor is operative to cause a determination to be made that card data read from a user card through operation of the card reader corresponds to a financial account on which a transaction is authorized to be conducted through operation of the machine, and a financial transfer at least one of to or from the financial account responsive at least in part to the determination, wherein the at least one deposit accepting device includes: a first sheet driver member, and a second sheet driver member, wherein the first and second sheet driver members are movably mounted in operatively supported connection with the housing such that a distance between the first sheet driver member and the second sheet driver member is selectively variable responsive at least in part to operation of the at least one processor, at least one divider plate positionable intermediate of the first sheet driver member and the second sheet driver member, wherein the at least one divider plate separates a first side from a second side, wherein the at least one divider plate is movably mounted relative to the housing, at least one drive, wherein the at least one drive is in operative connection with the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is operative to cause the at least one drive to relatively position the first sheet driver member, the second sheet driver member, and the at least one divider plate, wherein the at least one deposit accepting device is operative to cause sheets to move from the first side to the second side, wherein the at least one deposit accepting device is operative to cause the first sheet driver member and the second sheet driver member to together simultaneously engagingly move both first sheets positioned at the first side and second sheets positioned at the second side.
