Abstract: In an example embodiment, an automated banking machine that operates responsive at least in part to data read from data bearing records. The automated banking machine including a transaction function device, a slot associated with the transaction function device, an indicator adjacent to the slot, the indicator includes at least three different color light emitting diodes (LEDs), and an indicator processor in operative connection with the indicator. The indicator processor is operable to cause the LEDs of the indicator to intermittently illuminate to produce a plurality of blended colors that correspond to a functional status of the transaction function device.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, an automated banking machine can cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records. The machine includes a card reader that can read from user cards, card data which corresponds to financial accounts. The machine can operate responsive to the read card data to carry out transactions that transfer and/or allocate funds between accounts. The machine can provide users a transaction receipt. The machine includes a cash dispenser that can dispense cash to authorized users. Value of dispensed cash can be assessed to an account which corresponds to the read card data. The machine is equipped with sensing devices strategically positioned adjacent to machine components. The sensing devices enable the machine to automatically detect servicing activities performed on the machine. The machine is operable to send information corresponding to detected service activity to a service data-collecting computer.
