• a first reversible motor in operative connection with at least one of said first and second belts, and
• a timing device in operative connection with said first motor and said exit sensor,
• wherein said first motor is operative to move said sheets in a first direction to said exit end wherein said sensor senses said sheets, and wherein if said sheets are sensed after a time determined by said timing device, said first motor is operative to move said sheets in a second direction away from said exit end.

A paper presentation apparatus for an automated teller machine comprising:

• a movable first belt,
• a movable second belt extending generally parallel of said first belt, wherein said second belt is supportably driven by a first shaft,
• a paper stop,
• a mechanism interconnecting said paper stop and said first belt wherein as said paper stop is moved away from said second belt, said first belt is moved toward said second belt, and vice versa,
• a roller adjacent and movable in cooperating relation with said first shaft, said roller supportably driven by a roller shaft, said roller shaft driven by said first shaft, said first belt supportably driven by an axle shaft, said axle shaft having a first gear thereon, said first gear engaged with a second gear, said first and second gears journalled on a first rotatable link, said second gear engaged with a third gear, said second gear and third gear journalled on a second rotatable link, said third gear operatively engaged with said roller shaft, whereby said first axle is movable in driven relation with said roller shaft.

A paper presentation apparatus for an automated teller machine comprising:

• a movable first belt wherein said first belt is supported on a first axle, and wherein said first axle has a first flapper member mounted thereon,
• a movable second belt extending generally parallel of said first belt,
• a paper stop, and
• a mechanism interconnecting said paper stop and said first belt wherein as said paper stop is moved away from said second belt, said first belt is moved toward said second belt, and vice versa.

A paper presentation apparatus for an automated teller machine comprising:

• a movable first belt,
• a movable second belt extending generally parallel of said first belt,
• a paper stop,
• a mechanism interconnecting said paper stop and said first belt wherein as said paper stop is moved away from said second belt, said first belt is moved toward said second belt, and vice versa, and
• wherein said apparatus further comprises an entry end and an entry sensor adjacent said entry end sensing a sheet passing adjacent thereto, and wherein said apparatus further comprises a motor driving said belts to accept said sheet into said apparatus, and wherein said motor is operatively connected to said entry sensor and wherein said entry sensor is operative to stop movement of said motor after said sheet has cleared said entry end.

A paper presentation apparatus for an automated teller machine comprising:

• a first sheet movement means for moving sheets in contact therewith;
• a second sheet movement means for moving sheets in contact therewith, said second sheet movement means movable between a first position adjacent said first sheet movement means and a second position disposed from said first sheet movement means;
• a paper stop means for stopping sheets from passing between said first and second sheet movement means, said paper stop means movable between a stop position wherein it stops the passage of sheets and a disposed position wherein sheets are enabled to pass between said first and second sheet movement means;
• first interconnecting means for interconnecting said second sheet movement means and said paper stop means, wherein when said paper stop means is in the stop position, said second sheet movement means is in the second position, and wherein when said paper stop means is in the disposed position, said second sheet movement is in the first position;
• wherein said apparatus includes an entry end and an exit end, and further comprises means for holding said sheets at said exit end and means for returning said sheets from said exit end by passing them between said first and second sheet movement means toward said entry end.

A method for presenting stacks of sheets to a customer from an apparatus in an automated banking machine, comprising the steps of:

• moving sheets on a first belt in a first direction into a stack against a paper stop;
• disposing said paper stop from said stack;
• moving a second belt to engage said stack on an opposed side from said first belt;
• and
• moving said first and second belts in said first direction to move said stack to an exit end of said apparatus whereby said stack is delivered to a customer.
