Abstract
An automated banking machine (10) has a secure chest (20). A sheet dispenser assembly is supported on the chest through movable slides (40). The dispenser may be moved outward through an opening (26) in the chest by extending the slides. The dispenser may be disengaged from the slides through use of a portable carrier (50). The portable carrier has a lifting device which is operated to lift the dispenser relative to the slides enabling disengagement therefrom. The dispenser is then movable away from the chest for servicing on the carrier. The dispenser may be re-engaged with the slides after servicing using the portable carrier.
