## Abstract

A method and apparatus are disclosed for conveying at least one item of media. The apparatus includes a user interface comprising a media port and a user display. The apparatus also includes a shuttle carriage supporting a presentation platform and movable along a shuttle drive rail between a first end region thereof in which the presentation platform can be aligned at the media port and a further end region in which the presentation platform can be selectively aligned with a selected one of a plurality of possible handling ports of a multi-media station.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of retro-fitting a user interface to an automated teller machine (ATM), comprising the steps of:
removing a fascia panel to provide access to a front end region of a carcass of an ATM; and
securing a shuttle housing to the front end region, said housing supporting a user interface comprising a media port and a user display, wherein securing further includes connecting the shuttle housing as a shuttle system to the front end region that transfers items of media singly or in bunches to and from the media port and from and to the ATM based on interactions through the user interface, wherein the shuttle housing is an elongated rectangular rigid structure that extends horizontally between the user interface and multiple media handling ports of the ATM, wherein the shuttle housing is supported vertically by an adjustable support leg.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
supporting the media port and user display facing a direction opposite to a previous facing direction of the fascia panel.
