LightScribe is direct disc labeling technology that

provides you a simple way to burn precise, silk-screen

quality labels. All you have to do is burn, flip, and burn.

It combines the LightScribe-enabled DVD drive of your

PC with specially coated CD or DVD discs (sold

separately) and enhanced disc-labeling software.

A LightScribe-enabled DVD disc drive uses an optical

laser in the drive to burn a label onto a thin dye coating

on the label side of the LightScribe disc. There is no ink

to smear, no paper to curl, no adhesive to loosen.

LightScribe discs are identified by the

LightScribe logo on the retail packaging and

on the inner hub area of the disc itself. Your

PC comes ready to work with many versions of

LightScribe discs; however, as new disc versions are

introduced, you need to update the software for your

LightScribe-enabled DVD drive. Updates are available

from the HP Customer Care Web site:

Frequently Asked Questions

• What do I need to use LightScribe?

Burning a label with LightScribe requires three things:

• LightScribe-enabled DVD drive

• LightScribe software

• LightScribe discs (sold separately)

• How long does it take to burn a

LightScribe label?

The time required varies according to the imaging

mode (draft, normal, and best) and the amount of

area that is being burned (narrow band with curved

text, medium band with curved text, or full disc

surface). Using the draft or normal imaging modes

provides a shorter burn time, but also results in a

lighter label. Additionally, in most cases, the smaller

the area used for the label, the shorter the

burning time.

The LightScribe software you use to burn the label

provides you with an estimated burn time when the

burning begins, and a progress bar to show the

remaining time during the burning process.

• Where are LightScribe discs sold?

LightScribe discs are available at major computer and

consumer electronics retail outlets.

• Can LightScribe burn a color label?

Currently, LightScribe technology creates a grayscale

image, similar to a black-and-white photograph.

LightScribe’s development strategy includes future

announcements about additional capabilities.

• Can I use my PC for other things while I am

burning a LightScribe label?

Yes. LightScribe does not require your attention during

the label burning process. You can continue using

your PC for other tasks while the label is being

burned.

• Will the LightScribe image fade or darken

over time or with exposure to light?

LightScribe discs are optimized to ensure that the

labeled surface lasts. Some minor fading may occur

over time. To ensure the longest life for both the label

and data, keep optical discs out of direct light.

• Is the LightScribe surface/coating safe to

handle?

Yes, the LightScribe discs are safe to handle, like

other optical discs.

• Can I re-do a LightScribe label?

The LightScribe label is permanent and not erasable.

Revision #: 24 Page: 3 of 8 Printed: 11/02/04 10:48 AM

• What happens if I forget to flip the disc over

before burning the label?

The LightScribe software notifies you that the disc is

not recognized and prompts you to flip the disk over.

The disc must be placed label side down in the DVD

disc tray.

• Is the LightScribe disc hot or dangerous to

handle immediately after the label is

burned?

No, the LightScribe disc is safe to touch as soon as

the label burning process is complete.

Tips & Tricks

Before you begin, take a moment to review these helpful

suggestions:

With LightScribe, there are no limits to your

creativity! Whatever your requirements for CD/DVD

labeling, LightScribe technology offers you the

opportunity to let your creativity flow. Create

professional silkscreen-quality labels with endless

possibilities for personal expression. Burn personalized

labels for your music, your family photos, or home video

archives.

Choose a design that fits your needs. The

LightScribe software that came with your PC has a

number of pre-designed templates for any occasion.

Use your own text, photos, or designs. Open

your favorite graphic design application, create your

artwork, and save it in bitmap, TIFF, or JPEG format.

From your LightScribe software, select the file as a

background and complete your label by adding any

desired text.

Make each CD or DVD a work in progress.

You can add new text and pictures (for example, more

song names or file names) to a previously burned label.

Simply load the label design you originally used to burn

the label, clear the existing text and graphics to avoid

duplicate information being burned, then add the new

label information and burn again.

Preview your label. Use the Print Preview function

(or print out on paper) to see your label before burning

to make sure it is exactly the way you want it.

Cut down on your label burning time. Switch

from Best to Normal mode: you’ll burn fewer tracks per

inch for a lighter, but faster, label. Or use the Title or

Content templates instead of Full Disc. Because

LightScribe burns (starting in the center of the disc)

outward in concentric rings, Title and Content templates

save time by confining your label to a narrower band.

For the same reason, using circular text instead of

straight text can also speed up burn times.

Go for contrast. A high-contrast photo or graphic

stands out better than a picture in mostly soft middle

tones. Use your software’s preview feature to see how

the graphics you use look on disc.

Keep using your PC. While the label is being

created, you can continue to use your PC for other

activities. The LightScribe software indicates the time

remaining to burn the design.

Avoid sudden shock or vibration. While the

disc is labeling, avoid any sudden shock or vibration

to the PC.

Creating a LightScribe label

Burning a label with LightScribe is a separate process

from burning data, music, or picture files onto a disc.

Depending on the LightScribe software you use, you

can create a label before or after you burn files onto

the disc.

Note: To burn the label, you must flip the disc over and place it

label side down in the DVD disc tray.

Labels can be a simple title with a contents list, or you

can get more creative by adding backgrounds and

images.

You can design and create the label with InterVideo Disc

Label or Sonic Express Labeler.

Note: Sonic Express Labeler can also be opened from iTunes

after you burn a data CD or audio CD.

To create a label with

InterVideo Disc Label:

1 Click Start, All Programs, InterVideo

DiscLabel, and then click InterVideo DiscLabel

again.

2 Select a template style from the Template menu and

click Apply.

3 Double-click the title text box, if present, or click

Add Text.

4 Type the text into the Rich Text Edit window and then

click OK.

5 With the text box selected (click the box once), use

the Text toolbar to modify the font, color, and other

text properties.

6 Double-click the list text box, if present, or click Add

List to add a list of contents to the label.

7 Click Add to add a row to the list.

Note: If you use a color image or theme, LightScribe burns it

as a greyscale (monochrome) image.

12 Click Add Image and follow the onscreen

instructions to browse to and select an image file.

13 Click and drag the image to the area you want it to

appear on the label. You can resize the image by

clicking and dragging the sides or corners of the

image.

Note: To remove an image from the label, click the image and

then press Delete on your keyboard.

14 When you are satisfied with the appearance of your

label design, click LightScribe Print.

down) in the disc tray, and then click OK.

with a progress bar. You can continue to work on your

PC while LightScribe is burning the label.

process may affect the quality of the label.

To create a label after

burning a disc with iTunes:

Note: To use Express Labeler from iTunes, the data or music tracks

in the playlist you are using must fit on a single CD.
