Zusammenfassung:	A self-service terminal (SST) (10) having a reconfigurable media entry slot is provided. The slot (16) has paired vertically movable (22) and horizontally movable (20) shutters located so as to be capable of being moved to restrict the size of the slot (16). In use, the SST (10) determines the orientation and size of media to be entered, and adjusts the slot (16) size accordingly by means of motors (28, 30) driving the shutters. An indicator (18) may also be provided to further indicate to a user the expected media size, with media sensors (32) being present to further avoid entry of incorrect media.
