Replacing Microsoft Office Document Imaging Printer with TIFF Image Printer

/by

You have upgraded your Microsoft Office to version 2007 or higher, but have now found the Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) printer is no longer available. What can you use in place of the old MODI printer?

You can use the PEERNET TIFF Image Printer to create your TIFF files.

TIFF Image Printer will essentially replace the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer you used to have as part of MODI and is configured by default to create 200dpi, monochrome TIFF images.
