Automated transaction machine

A method of improving an automated banking machine, wherein the machine includes a sheet transport operative to move sheets in the machine, and wherein the sheet transport includes a plurality of generally parallel first belt flights extending in a longitudinal direction, and at least one longitudinally extending projection member extending parallel to and transversely intermediate to immediately transversely adjacent first belt flights, and wherein each of the first belt flights includes a first sheet engaging surface facing generally in a first facing direction generally normal of the longitudinal direction, and the longitudinally extending projection includes a second sheet engaging surface facing generally in a second facing direction generally normal of the longitudinal direction and opposed of the first facing direction, wherein sheets move in the transport in the longitudinal direction in engagement with the first and second sheet engaging surfaces, the method comprising:

• (a) removing at least one of the two immediately transversely adjacent first belt flights from the transport, wherein the first sheet engaging surface of the removed first belt flight is a generally smooth surface;
• (b) in stalling an alternate first belt flight in the transport in place of the first belt flight removed in step (a), wherein the first sheet engaging surface of the alternate first belt flight includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced projections extending generally in the first facing direction.
