A request processing module is arranged to automatically receive telephone requests for specific stored documents. The request module provides signals to prompt the caller to input the information necessary to deliver the selected documents. The order information includes at least an identification code for the documents selected for delivery and a telephone number designated for the user's facsimile machine. At least one facsimile delivery module is provided to automatically deliver the selected documents to the facsimile machine designated by the user.
