Creating Disc Labels on Your Notebook Using LightScribe
Frequently asked questions
■ How do I know if I have a LightScribe drive?
It will display the LightScribe logo (shown above).
■ Can I upgrade my current DVD-RW drive to work with
LightScribe media?
You cannot upgrade your current optical drive to be
LightScribe capable.
■ What do I need to use LightScribe?
Burning a label with LightScribe requires three things:
❏ A LightScribe-enabled optical drive
❏ LightScribe-enhanced software
❏ LightScribe discs (sold separately)
■ How long does it take to burn a LightScribe label?
The time required varies according to the image mode (Draft,
Normal, and Best) and the surface area setting (narrow band
with curved text, medium band with curved text, or the full
disc surface). Using Draft or Normal imaging modes provides
a shorter burn time, but also results in a lighter label. In most
cases, the less area you use, the less time it takes to finish
burning the label.
When beginning the burning of the label, the LightScribe
software provides the estimated amount of time it will take
to
complete the label. A progress bar shows the remaining
time during the burning process.
■ Where are LightScribe discs sold?
LightScribe discs are available at major computer and
consumer electronics retail outlets, and through online
shopping.
■ Can LightScribe burn a color label?
Currently, LightScribe technology creates a grayscale image,
similar to a black-and-white photograph.
