Banking machine that operates responsive to data bearing records and that has user interface illumination devices
First Claim
1. At least one article including computer executable instructions operative to cause at least one computer of a cash accepting automated banking machine that includes each of a card reader device operative to read user card data corresponding to a financial account, a cash acceptor device, a cash storage area, and a user interface comprising a multicolor light emitting device positioned adjacent to a cash receiving location, to carry out a method comprising:
- (a) operating the multicolor light emitting device to output a first color during a cash accepting transaction;
(b) subsequent to step (a), operating the multicolor light emitting device to output a second color, wherein the second color differs from the first color; and
(c) subsequent to beginning step (b), operating the cash acceptor to move cash received from a machine user away from the cash receiving location toward the cash storage area.

Abstract
A banking system controlled by data bearing records. The system includes an automated banking machine (10) including a card reader (16) operative to read identifying data from user cards. The identifying data is used authorize operation of the automated banking machine. The banking machine includes a user interface (15). The user interface includes a card reader, receipt printer opening (30), cash dispensing opening (38), and deposit accepting opening (40). Multicolor light emitting devices (17, 31, 41, 43) are adjacent to and associated with a respective location where a user interacts with a particular transaction function device of the machine. One or more machine controllers (64) are selective to control the output color and duration of each light emitting device responsive to programming associated with the controller and an operative condition of the associated transaction function device.

13. At least one article including computer executable instructions operative to cause at least one computer of a cash accepting automated banking machine that includes each of a card reader device operative to read user card data corresponding to a financial account, and a deposit placement opening in a fascia of the machine, to carry out a method comprising:
-
(a) operating the automated banking machine to cause output of a first color from a location adjacent the deposit placement opening, wherein the first color indicates that the deposit placement opening is accessible to receive a deposit from a machine user during a user deposit transaction;
(b) subsequent to (a), operating the machine to cause output of a second color from the location, wherein the second color indicates that the deposit placement opening is inaccessible to receive a deposit from the user, wherein the second color differs from the first color; and
(c) subsequent to (a), operating the machine to store in the machine at least one financial instrument sheet received at the deposit placement opening. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
