1. Computer readable media including computer executable instructions operative to cause at least one computer to carry out a method comprising:
- (a) receiving a check in a check accepting machine including at least one computer, at least one check reading device, and at least one input device adapted to receive at least one identifying input from a machine user;
(b) reading optical indicia and magnetic indicia from the check through operation of the at least one check reading device to produce image data;
(c) determining through operation of the at least one computer responsive to the optical indicia read from the check, a location of a micr line in image data corresponding to the optical indicia read from the check; and
(d) determining through operation of the at least one computer responsive to the magnetic indicia read from the check, that the magnetic indicia corresponds to the micr line in the image data.

Abstract
An automated banking machine system and method includes ATMs which accept checks and dispense cash to users. The ATMs are operated to acquire image and magnetic data from deposited checks to determine the genuineness of checks and the authority of a user to receive cash for such checks. Cash is dispensed to the user from the ATM in exchange for the deposited check.

18. Computer readable media including computer executable instructions operative to cause at least one computer to carry out a method comprising:
-
(a) receiving a check in a check accepting machine including at least one computer, at least one check reading device, and at least one input device adapted to receive at least one identifying input from a machine user; (b) reading optical indicia and magnetic indicia from the check through operation of the at least one check reading device; (c) producing image data corresponding to the optical indicia through operation of the at least one computer; (d) determining micr line indicia from the image data through operation of the at least one computer; and (e) determining whether the micr line indicia corresponds to the magnetic indicia through operation of the at least one computer. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. Computer readable media including computer executable instructions operative to cause at least one computer in a check accepting machine to carry out a method comprising:
-
(a) operating a card reader of the machine to read machine user identifying input from a card; (b) receiving a check into the machine; (c) reading optical indicia from the check through operation of at least one optical indicia reading device; (d) producing at least one check image corresponding to the optical indicia read in (c) through operation of the at least one computer, wherein the at least one check image includes a micr line area; (e) reading magnetic data from the check through operation of at least one magnetic data reading device; (f) subsequent to (d), reading micr line data from the micr line area; and (g) determining through operation of the at least one computer, whether the micr line data read in (f) corresponds to the magnetic data read in (e).
