Abstract
A check processing module includes a hardware device disposed along a document track. The hardware device processes document items moving from an upstream end of the document track to a downstream end of the document track. A number of outer panels covers the hardware device during operation of the check processing module. At least one idler roller engages a document item in the document track when the idler roller is in a non-retracted position. An actuatable mechanism is provided for, when actuated, moving the idler roller from the non-retracted position to a retracted position away from a document item in the document track to allow an operator to more easily gain access to the document track while the outer panels remain covering the hardware device positioned along the document track.
