A cash dispensing automated banking machine, such as an ATM, has leveling legs. The legs are also used to fasten the ATM to a shipping pallet. Each leg has a support foot and an opposite free end. The free end is inserted through an opening in an intermediate shipping plate. With the shipping plate situated between the foot and the ATM underside, the free end is screwed into an underside opening. The leg is rotated until the plate is raised to be secure against the underside. The plate is then set on the pallet and fastened thereto by lag screws. The pallet includes horizontally adjustable stabilizing feet at sides thereof. The pallet feet can be extended outward to decrease the ability of a supported ATM to tip over. When not needed, such as during pallet storage, the feet can be retracted inward to reduce pallet size.

An automated banking machine includes a generally one-piece polymer frame. Transaction function devices such as an input device, a display screen, and a sheet dispenser, are supported on the frame. A generally one-piece polymer body is operatively engaged relative to the frame and extends in generally surrounding relation of the input device and display screen. The body includes at least one opening such that the display screen is visible and the input device is accessible through the body.

Automated banking machine enclosure

An automated transaction machine ( ) includes a thermal printing apparatus for printing account statements for a user. A paper drive ( ) moves a paper web ( ) from a paper roll ( ) through a printer ( ). After indicia is printed on the paper, the paper is cut by a cutter ( ) into sheets and delivered to a user by a presenter drive ( ). After paper cutting, the paper is moved a short distance in a direction opposed to the direction that the paper normally moves during printing. A paper control device ( ) operates to maintain a relatively constant resistance force to movement of the web in the printing direction after the paper has been retracted. The paper control device limits application of resistance forces to below a threshold as well as sudden fluctuation of resistance forces on the paper web which may otherwise cause the paper to slip relative to the drive and cause distortion of printed indicia or damage to the web.

Automated transaction machine printer

An automated banking machine includes a chest portion ( ). Transaction function devices such as an input device ( ) and a display screen ( ) are supported on the chest portion. A generally one-piece polymer body ( ) is operatively engaged relative to the chest portion and extends in generally surrounding relation of the input device and display screen. The body includes at least one opening ( ) such that the display screen is visible and the input device is accessible through the body.
