Abstract
An automated banking machine (10) includes a user interface (15). The user interface includes a card reader (16), 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.

19. A method comprising:
-
(a) operating a deposit accepting device of an automated banking machine in conducting a deposit transaction, wherein the operation causes a condition of the deposit accepting device to change; and (b) changing a color output by each of at least one multicolor light emitting device positioned at a user interface of the machine adjacent to an interface location where a machine user interacts with the deposit accepting device, wherein the deposit accepting device is operative to store in the machine financial instruments received from a user at the interface location, and wherein the color is changed between at least two outputted colors responsive to the change in the condition. - View Dependent Claims (20)
