Abstract
An automated transaction machine has a document directing device. The document directing device enables the orientation of a document moving in a document path in the machine to be changed. An exemplary device enables a document to be simultaneously turned over and redirected in a direction generally normal to that in which the document is originally moved. The device may be used in a space-saving manner in association with a printer positioned behind a flat screen type display monitor. The device enables a printed document such as an account statement to be redirected toward a customer accessible opening in the customer interface of the automated transaction machine. The document directing device may also be used in the feeding of documents into an automated transaction machine.
