1. A method of accessing an electronically-stored financial document from one of a first storage system and a second storage system with the first and second storage systems being different from each other wherein the first and second storage systems each include a plurality of financial documents stored therein and wherein each of the financial documents has an electronic image and is associated with at least one specific document parameter, said method comprising the steps of:
- storing a plurality of images of the financial documents in a first fixed medium at the first storage system when the specific document parameter of the financial document is greater than a predetermined parameter, wherein the predetermined parameter includes a pre-selected numerical record date;
storing a plurality of images of the financial documents in a second fixed medium at the second storage system when the specific document parameter of the financial document is less than or equal to the predetermined parameter;
utilizing a processor that has access to the first and second storage systems;
receiving a request for an image of one of the stored financial documents into the processor;
comparing the specific document parameter of the requested financial document to the predetermined parameter to determine if the specific document parameter is greater than, less than, or equal to the predetermined parameter after the request has been received, wherein the specific document parameter of the financial document is a particular numerical sequence associated with the specific document parameter, and wherein the particular numerical sequence of the financial document includes a record date of the financial document;
accessing the first storage system when the specific document parameter is greater than the predetermined parameter and accessing the second storage system when the specific document parameter is less than or equal to the predetermined parameter; and
retrieving the image of the requested financial document from the accessed storage system as defined by the received request.

Abstract
An electronically stored financial document is either maintained in a first storage system when a parameter associated with the document is greater than a pre-selected parameter or in a second storage system when the parameter associated with the document is less than or equal to the pre-selected parameter. A request for a stored financial document is received and the requested financial document parameter is compared to the pre-selected financial document parameter to determine if the electronically stored financial document'"'"'s parameter is more than, less than, or equal to the pre-selected parameter. In processing the request, a processing unit electronically accesses one of the storage systems in response to the comparison of the pre-selected parameter to the electronically stored financial document'"'"'s parameters. After accessing the appropriate storage system, the requested electronically stored financial document can be reproduced, and/or distributed.

9. A system for selectively storing and retrieving electronic images of financial documents, each electronic image being associated with a document parameter that includes a numerical sequence that is representative of a record date of the corresponding financial document, the system comprising:
-
a first storage system including a first fixed medium that stores a plurality of electronic images of corresponding financial documents, wherein the numerical sequence of the document parameter of each electronic image is greater than a numerical sequence of a predetermined parameter, wherein the predetermined parameter includes a pre-selected numerical record date; a second storage system including a second fixed medium that stores a plurality of electronic images of corresponding financial documents, wherein the numerical sequence of the document parameter of each electronic image is less than or equal to the numerical sequence of the predetermined parameter; and a processor that has electronic access to the first and second storage systems, wherein the processor is configured to; receive a request to retrieve the stored electronic image corresponding to a requested financial document that includes the document parameter; compare the numerical sequence of the document parameter associated with the electronic image of the requested financial document to the numerical sequence of the predetermined parameter, wherein the specific document parameter associated with the electronic image of the requested financial document includes a particular numerical sequence that is representative of a specific record date of the financial document; if the numerical sequence of the document parameter of the requested financial document is greater than the numerical sequence of the predetermined parameter, then retrieve the electronic image corresponding to the requested financial document from the first storage system; if the numerical sequence of the document parameter of the requested financial document is less than or equal to the numerical sequence of the predetermined parameter, then retrieve the electronic image corresponding to the requested financial document from the second storage system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
