Abstract: Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, assemblies, devices, components, methods, software and firmware for a note validator transport path centralizer, such as may be present in a Self-Service Terminal, e.g., an Automated Teller Machine. One example method embodiment includes receiving a note by a receiving and transport module of a note validator and sensing a lateral positioning of the note on a transport path of the note validator. This method further includes engaging at least one centralizing mechanism to move the note to a medial position on the transport path of the note validator and disengaging the at least one centralizer mechanism upon sensing the note reaching the medial position on the transport path of the note validator. The method may then output the note from the receiving and transport module of the note validator to a note validation module.
