Cash accepting and cash dispensing automated banking machine system and method

At least one computer readable article comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one computer cause the at least one computer to carry out a method comprising:

• (a) applying an electronic template to check image data representative of the appearance of at least one side of a financial check,
• wherein the check image data includes:
• courtesy amount image data,
• wherein the courtesy amount image data includes courtesy amount content corresponding to a courtesy amount indicated on the check,
• signature image data,
• wherein the signature line image data includes signature content corresponding to at least one signature on the check, and
• micr line image data,
• wherein the micr line image data includes micr line content corresponding to a micr line indicated on the check;
• wherein the electronic template includes a micr line area,
• wherein the applying causes a first portion of the check image data to correspond to the micr line area;
• (b) reading data from the first portion;
• (c) determining within a predetermined level of assurance, that data read in (b) includes micr line character data;
• (d) responsive to (c), determining that the first portion includes at least part of the micr line image data;
• (e) subsequent to (d), modifying the first portion to cause the check image data to be absent at least a portion of the micr line content corresponding to the micr line indicated on the check,
• wherein the check image data still includes courtesy amount content that corresponds to the courtesy amount indicated on the check;
• and
• (f) repeating (a)-(e) for other check image data that corresponds to at least one visual image of at least one side of at least one other financial check.

At least one computer readable article comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one computer cause the at least one computer to carry out a method comprising:

• (a) locating original micr line content in respective check image data for each of a plurality of respective checks,
• wherein for each respective check, the check image data corresponds to at least one visual image of at least one side of the respective check,
• wherein for each respective check, the check image data includes
• courtesy amount image data,
• wherein the courtesy amount image data includes courtesy amount content corresponding to a courtesy amount indicated on the respective check,
• signature image data,
• wherein the signature line image data includes signature content corresponding to at least one signature on the respective check, and
• micr line image data,
• wherein the micr line image data includes the original micr line content,
• wherein the original micr line content corresponds to a micr line indicated on the respective check;
• and
• (b) modifying each respective original micr line content located in (a),
• wherein the modifying causes a change in the check image data for each respective check so that the check image data no longer includes micr line content that corresponds to the micr line indicated on the respective check,
• wherein the modifying does not change the courtesy amount image data of the check image data for each respective check.

At least one computer readable article comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause a method comprising:

• (a) operating the at least one processor to cause a template to be applied to check image data representative of a visual appearance of at least one side of a financial check,
• wherein the check image data includes:
• courtesy amount image data,
• wherein the courtesy amount image data includes courtesy amount content corresponding to a courtesy amount indicated on the check,
• signature image data,
• wherein the signature line image data includes signature content corresponding to at least one signature on the check, and
• micr line image data,
• wherein the micr line image data includes original micr line content corresponding to a micr line indicated on the check;
• wherein the applying causes a first portion of the check image data to correspond to a micr line area of the template;
• (b) operating the at least one processor to cause a determination to be made within a predetermined level of assurance, that the first portion includes at least part of the original micr line content;
• and
• (c) subsequent to (b), operating the at least one processor to cause the first portion to be modified,
• wherein the modification causes at least a portion of the original micr line content to be unreadable in the check image data,
• wherein subsequent to the modification, the check image data still includes at least one of:
• the courtesy amount content corresponding to the courtesy amount indicated on the check, wherein the courtesy amount content is readable, or
• the signature content corresponding to the at least one signature on the check, wherein the signature content is readable.
