ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for obtaining data from a document at point of presentment. The document has a predetermined width, and the apparatus has a frame, a drive mechanism mounted on the frame, and sensors. The drive mechanism is adapted to move the document along a document path in the apparatus between a home position, at which the document is inserted into the apparatus, and an exit position, at which the document is removable from the apparatus. The drive mechanism includes a roller rotatable about a roller axis for engaging a contact portion of the document extending along the width thereof. The roller has a substantially smooth surface for supporting the contact portion. The sensors are for obtaining document data from the contact portion of the document.
