Banking system controlled responsive to data bearing records

Apparatus comprising:

• an automated banking machine that includes a plurality of hardware devices including:
• a card reader operable to read from user cards, card data that corresponds to financial accounts;
• at least one device operative to at least one of receive or dispense sheet media from at least one cassette;
• at least one computer processor in operative communication with the card reader and the at least one device,
• wherein the at least one computer processor is operative to cause:
• a computer determination to be made that card data read from a user card corresponds to a financial account concerning which financial transfers are authorized to be conducted through machine operation;
• and
• a financial transfer at least one of to or from the financial account responsive at least in part to the determination;
• wherein at least one of the hardware devices includes at least one device processor and at least one data store,
• wherein the at least one device processor is operatively configured to determine data corresponding to at least one device condition associated with the at least one hardware device,
• a display,
• wherein the display is operative to output indicia including at least one machine readable bar code in a manner that allows the at least one machine readable bar code to be captured in an image by using a camera of a mobile phone,
• wherein the image is usable to determine data corresponding to the at least one device condition.

Apparatus comprising:

• an automated transaction machine,
• wherein the machine is associated with at least one computer processor that is operable to cause a computer determination to be made on whether user data obtained by operation of the at least one data reader corresponds to a financial account on which financial transactions can be carried out with the machine,
• wherein the machine includes a plurality of hardware devices,
• wherein the hardware devices include at least one data reader,
• wherein the at least one data reader is operable to obtain user data usable to identify financial accounts,
• wherein the hardware devices include at least one of:
• a sheet dispenser, or
• a sheet acceptor;
• wherein at least one of the hardware devices includes at least one device processor,
• wherein the at least one device processor is configured to operate to determine data corresponding to at least one device condition associated with the at least one hardware device,
• wherein the machine includes a display,
• wherein the display is operable to output indicia in a manner that allows an imaging device of a mobile communication device to capture the indicia,
• wherein the indicia includes at least one bar code,
• wherein the at least one bar code is usable to determine the data corresponding to the at least one device condition.
