LONG BEACH, Miss. — Triton, a leading manufacturer of ATMs, has rolled out its newest ATM for credit unions and other financial institutions without including a check scanner as part of the machine's standard equipment.

"The feedback we have been getting from our financial institution customers, particularly smaller banks and credit unions, was that they are not quite ready for check scanning just yet," explained Alicia Blanda, spokesman for the manufacturer. "So the FT7000 has a slot which can take a check scanning element when they upgrade to that capability later."
