A card reader can include a card insertion slot, a conveyor member, a card-reading head, and a pendulum sensor assembly. The card insertion slot can receive a card from a user. The conveyor member can be configured to move the card along a transport path extending at least partially within the card reader. The card-reading head can be positioned along the transport path, directed toward the transport path. The card-reading head can be configured to read data held on a magnetic strip or held on an embedded chip. The pendulum sensor assembly can include a pendulum and a first sensor. The pendulum can extend into the transport path and can be freely-pivotable about a pivot axis. The first sensor can be configured to detect an angular position of the pendulum about the pivot axis.

An automated banking machine operates to cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records in the form of user cards. The machine includes a printer for printing paper records of transactions conducted at the machine. The printer receives paper from a shared paper path. The shared paper path can be supplied by a first paper supply and a second paper supply. A controller is operative to switch between the paper supplies in providing paper to the printer. Based on signals received from paper sensors in the machine, the controller can determine whether the first paper supply has reached a predetermined low level. In response to a low level determination, the controller acts to cause a paper drive to begin moving paper from the second paper supply to the shared paper path and then to the printer.
