An automated banking machine () identifies and stores documents such as currency bills deposited by a user. The machine then selectively recovers documents from storage and dispenses them to other users. The machine includes a central transport () wherein documents deposited in a stack are unstacked, oriented, and identified. Such documents are then routed to storage areas in recycling canisters (). When a user subsequently requests a dispense, documents stored in the storage areas are selectively picked therefrom and delivered to the user through an input/output area () of the machine. The control system () for the machine includes a terminal processor (). Identification devices identify the type and character of a document, and distinguish genuine documents, such as genuine currency bills, from unidentifiable or suspect documents.

Sheets are oriented in the central transport by a deskewing/centering device ( ). The deskewing/centering device includes a shuttle ( ). The shuttle includes transversely disposed pinch wheels ( ) and sensors ( ). The rotation of the pinch wheels is selectively controlled to orient the leading edges of sheets to extend transversely relative to the sheet path. Sheets are also moved transversely in engagement with the shuttle to a desired transverse position in the sheet path and then released.

Document alignment mechanism for currency recycling automated banking machine

An automated banking machine can identify and store documents such as currency bills received by a user. The machine can then selectively recover documents from storage and dispense them to other users. Identification devices can identify the type and character of a document, and distinguish genuine documents, such as genuine currency bills, from unidentifiable or suspect documents. Each received document can be judged as either acceptable or unacceptable. Output related to the judging can be presented to the user prior to a document leaving the machine. Subsequently, responsive to receiving user authorization to deposit the acceptable documents, the acceptable documents can be stored in the machine and the unacceptable documents returned to the user.

The machine then selectively recovers such documents from storage and dispenses them to other users. The machine includes a central transport (,) wherein documents deposited in a stack are unstacked, oriented and identified. Such documents are then routed to storage areas in recycling canisters (,). When a user subsequently requests a dispense, documents stored in the storage areas are selectively picked therefrom and delivered to the user through an input/output area (,) of the machine.

The machine then selectively recovers documents from storage and dispenses them to other users. The machine includes a central transport (,) wherein documents deposited in a stack are unstacked, oriented and identified. Such documents are then routed to storage areas in recycling canisters (,). When a user subsequently requests a dispense, documents stored in the storage areas are selectively picked therefrom and delivered to the user through an input/output area (,) of the machine. The control system (,) for the machine includes a terminal processor (,). The terminal processor communicates with a module processor (,). The module processor (,) communicates with module controllers (,and,) which control the operation of devices. The module processor coordinates the activities of the module controllers to achieve the processing of documents reliably and at high speeds.

Control system for currency recycling automated banking machine

An automated banking machine (10) identifies and stores documents such as currency bills deposited by a user. The machine then selectively recovers documents from storage and dispenses them to other users. The machine includes a central transport (70) wherein documents deposited in a stack are unstacked, oriented and identified. Such documents are then routed to storage areas in recycling canisters (92, 94, 96, 98). When a user subsequently requests a dispense, documents stored in the storage areas are selectively picked therefrom and delivered to the user through an input/output area (50) of the machine. The control system (30) for the machine includes a terminal processor (548). The terminal processor communicates with a module processor (552). The module processor (552) communicates with module controllers (554, 556, 558, 560, 562 and 564) which control the operation of devices. The module processor coordinates the activities of the module controllers to achieve the processing of documents reliably and at high speeds. A special protocol is used to communicate messages between the module processors and module controllers which provides increased reliability.
