METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPENSING MONEY ORDERS ABSTRACT A method and apparatus for dispensing money orders at a plurality of retail establishments is provided, including one or more data collector devices connected to a host device. Preferably, each of the money order dispensers include a digital processor for controlling the overall operation thereof, a keyboard for entering transaction data to request the printing of a money order, a display for displaying the transaction data, and a dot matrix printer for printing the requested money order. Each dispenser further includes an electrically-eraseable programmable read only memory (E2PROM) for storing a security inhibit printing code, this code being automatically changed to prevent actuation of the printer when the secur- ity of the dispenser is compromised. The physical dimensions of the money order dispenser are reduced by providing a dot matrix printer for receiving money orders in a transverse fashion, and software routines are provided to control the dot matrix printer to "rotate" the printed characters whereby money orders are dispensed in a readable fashion.
