The exemplary machine includes a lockable first fascia portion () which when unlocked enables access to a chest lock input device (), inputs to which enable opening a chest door () of the machine. Opening the first fascia portion also enables access to an actuator () which enables moving a second fascia portion () for conducting service activities. A controller () in the machine selectively illuminates light emitting devices () for purposes of facilitating user operation of the machine. Sensing devices () adjacent a card reader slot () on the machine enables the controller to detect the presence of unauthorized card reading devices. Servicing the machine is facilitated through use of a portable diagnostic article () which enables the controller to access diagnostic data stored in memory and which provides data indicative of the significance of the diagnostic data and via remote communication.
