Abstract
An ATM can accept checks and dispense cash to users. An inkiet printhead can print indicia on accepted checks. An ink catcher is positioned on a side of a check path opposite to the printhead. The ink catcher includes a body portion, a projecting portion, and a head portion. The body portion has an ink holding interior area. The Projecting portion has an opening that is in fluid communication with the interior area. The head portion includes an opening, a wiper, and is rotatable relative to the projecting portion. The rotation enables the head portion opening to be aligned with the projecting portion opening. In this position, the aligned openings enable ink expelled from the printhead which does not strike a check to be captured in the interior area. Other head portion rotation enables the wiper member to clean the inkjet nozzles.
