LightScribe™ Direct Disc Labeling is an exciting disc labeling technology that lets you to burn CD and DVD labels simply by flipping the discs over and putting them back in the same disc drive that burned your data.
LightScribe™ technology combines the CD or DVD drive of your computer with specially coated discs and Roxio’s disc-burning software to produce precise, silkscreen-quality, iridescent labels. With LightScribe™, your disc is your label. It’s the no-hassle way to create attractive labels for all your music mix CDs, digital video or photo archives, and for any business application.
To use LightScribe™, you need:
The LightScribe™ system requires the use of LightScribe-enabled discs. LightScribe uses control features in the center (hub) of the disc to identify media as LightScribe™ media. If your system does not seem to recognize the media as LightScribe™ media, take the following steps:
Create the label in Disc Cover as you normally would. You can select one of the following design elements:
Note: Using a style that includes graphics or a lot of text increases the amount of time it takes to burn the label on to the disc. The Title Label and Content Label design elements take a few minutes to burn on to the disc, while a Full Label can take much longer.
To burn a label:
Insert the disc in the LightScribe-capable recorder with the label side facing down.
Select the drop-down File menu and choose Print.
The Print dialog box will appear.
From the Output drop-down list, select LightScribe.
From the Device drop-down list, select the LightScribe-capable recorder, if it is not already selected.
Select your contrast level.
LightScribe™ provides three different contrast levels for you to choose from when labeling your discs. In Printing Preferences, select Best, Normal, or Draft quality.
The label burn time will increase from Draft to Normal to Best:
The label burn time varies with the amount of information contained on the label, the placement of the information on the label, the contrast level selected, the LightScribe™ disc used and the drive.
