CREATING AND BURNING LIGHTSCRIBE-LABELED DISCS
1. Start the LightScribe labeling software.
Your labeling application may be part of your disc-burning software, or it may be a
stand-alone application.
2. Choose the appropriate LightScribe setting(s) for your design.
Most LightScribe-enabled labeling applications require you to select the “LightScribe”
option before designing your label.
3. Create your label design.
You can choose to create a label with text and/or graphics, and you can choose
the area of the disc in which your label will be inscribed — from a simple band
of text (“title only”) to a complete design that covers the entire disc (“full label”).
Experiment with text, fonts, ready-made backgrounds, and your own photos and
graphics to design the label that best suits your style. (For ideas and advice, visit

4. When your design is ready, insert a blank LightScribe disc into the drive label side
down.
Before you can preview or print your design, the labeling application checks to see
whether there’s a LightScribe disc inserted correctly in the drive; if there is no disc, or
if your disc is not inserted with the LightScribe labeling side down, the software will
send an error message.
5. Select the Preview option to see how your design will look as a LightScribe label.
Previewing your design lets you determine whether the design elements are placed
where you want them, and it shows you what the grayscale design will look like on
disc.
6. Select the Print option to send the label design to disc.
When you print your design to disc, you can choose from three quality modes: draft,
normal, or best.“Draft” is the fastest printing mode, and the resulting design provides
a lower level of contrast; “best” provides the highest contrast and darkest design areas,
and the burning process takes longer. The following table shows a rough estimation of
the expected print times.
Setting Title only Title & content listing Full label (with graphics)
Best <4 min. <9 min. <36 min.
Normal <3 min. <7 min. <28 min.
Draft <2 min. <4 min. <20 min.
When your label is finished, the drive will automatically eject your disc.
