Abstract
An automated banking machine system and method includes automated banking machines that operate responsive to data bearing records and accept checks and dispense cash to users. The automated banking machines 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 machine in exchange for the deposited check.

4. Apparatus comprising:
an automated banking machine that operates responsive at least in part to data bearing records, including; a cash dispenser, a check imaging device, a user interface, wherein the user interface includes a card reader, at least one computer in operative connection with the cash dispenser, the check imaging device, and the user interface, wherein the at least one computer includes software comprising computer instructions executable by the at least one computer, wherein the at least one computer is operative to receive from a user through operation of the card reader reading card data from a user card, at least some user data usable in authorizing the user to carry out a transaction involving a financial account associated with the user, wherein the at least one computer is operative to cause through operation of the check imaging device, generation of image data corresponding to a visual image of at least a portion of a check input to the machine during a transaction, wherein the at least one computer is operative to determine check data corresponding to visual indicia represented in the image data, wherein the at least one computer is operative to cause at least one transaction request message including the check data, to be sent from the machine toward a remote transaction authorizing computer, wherein the at least one computer is operative to receive from the transaction authorizing computer subsequent to the at least one transaction request message being sent, at least one transaction authorization message that includes both machine instruction data, and a transaction identifier generated by and assigned to the transaction by the transaction authorizing computer,
wherein the transaction identifier is usable to uniquely identify the transaction,wherein the at least one computer is operative responsive at least in part to receiving the machine instruction data, to cause at least one of an output through the user interface, and a cash dispense from the machine through operation of the cash dispenser, wherein the at least one computer is operative responsive at least in part to receiving the transaction identifier, to associate the image data with the transaction identifier, wherein the at least one computer is operative to cause at least one image message to be sent from the machine toward at least one remote computer, wherein the at least one image message includes in associated relation, both the transaction identifier and the image data. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
