The Microsoft Office Document Image Writer is a print driver that is included with the Microsoft Office Document Imaging software. When installed, it is detected by the operating system as a printer, but instead of outputting files to paper it saves the documents as TIFF (tagged image file format) or MDI (Microsoft Office Document Imaging Format) files. If the printer does not display under the Devices and Printers section of your operating system Control Panel, you must install the correct software. You can do this using either Microsoft Office 2007 or SharePoint Designer 2007. Microsoft Office Document Imaging is not available for Microsoft Office 2010 or for 64bit versions of Windows 7.
