Abstract
An automated banking machine operates responsive to data bearing records. The machine includes a housing, a card reader in operatively-supported connection with the housing and operative to read indicia on user cards corresponding to financial accounts, a display in operatively-supported connection with the housing, and a cash dispenser in operatively-supported connection with the housing. The machine further includes a fascia movably mounted in operatively-supported connection with the housing and a journal printer assembly mounted to the fascia. The journal printer assembly includes a vertically arranged print head, a paper supply, and a paper take-up.
