摘要： A scaleable check processing module (SCPM) is provided for a self-service check depositing terminal. The SCPM comprises a supporting structure. The SCPM further comprises a first configurable mechanism located in the supporting structure and for (i) enabling a pocket module to be disposed at a first location of the supporting structure when the SCPM is to be installed into a first type of self-service check depositing terminal, (ii) enabling a pocket module to be disposed at a second location which is different from the first location of the supporting structure when the SCPM is to be installed into a second type of self-service check depositing terminal which is different from the first type of self-service depositing terminal, and (iii) enabling a pocket module to be disposed at a third location which is different from the first and second locations of the supporting structure when the SCPM is to be installed into a third type of self-service check depositing terminal which is different from the first and second types of self-service depositing terminals. The first configurable mechanism may comprise a three-way diverter which (i) diverts checks from an inlet path to a first outlet path when the SCPM is installed into the first type of self-service check depositing terminal, (ii) diverts checks from the inlet path to a second outlet path which is different from the first outlet path when the SCPM is installed into the second type of self-service check depositing terminal, and (iii) diverts checks from the inlet path to a third outlet path which is different from the first and second outlet paths when the SCPM is installed into the third type of self-service check depositing terminal. The SCPM may further comprise a second configurable mechanism located in the supporting structure and for enabling an escrow re-bunch module (ERBM) to be installed. The second configurable mechanism may comprise a two-way diverter which (i) diverts checks from an input path to a first output path when an ERBM, is not installed, and (ii) diverts checks from the input path to a second output path which is different from the first output path when an ERBM is installed.

摘要： A plunger moves from a retracted position to an extended position to engage a document which is on a receiving platform to push the document through an opening in the receiving platform and towards a stacking platform to stack the document on the stacking platform. The plunger moves from the extended position back to the retracted position to allow a biasing force which is acting on the stacking platform to press the document which has just been stacked on the stacking platform against the receiving platform. A supporting mechanism supports first and second plate members of the receiving platform for pivoting movement between a non-parallel position in which the plate members form a substantially wide V-shape to cup the document as the plunger pushes the document through the opening and onto the stacking platform, and a parallel position in which the plate members are substantially parallel to each other as the plunger moves back to the retracted position to allow the biasing force which is acting on the stacking platform to press the document which has just been stacked on the stacking platform against the receiving platform.

摘要： A method is provided of operating a document feeding mechanism having a document feed path which extends through a nip defined between an advance roller disposed on one side of a document feed path and a retard roller disposed on an opposite side of the document feed path. The method comprises detecting a multi-feed condition in which a first document and a second document overlapping the first document have been fed through the nip from an upstream end of the document feed path to a downstream end of the document feed path, and controlling operation of the advance roller and the retard roller such that the second document is driven backwards through the nip to allow the first document to be fed through the nip by itself in a non-overlapping manner without any human intervention.
