Making a disc label using LightScribe Technology

(Select models only)
The following section provides instructions for making a disc label by using LightScribe
technology. For instructions on making a paper label, refer to "Making a paper disc
label."
What is LightScribe?
LightScribe is an innovative technology that uses a special disc drive, special media
(CDs or DVDs), and label-making software to burn labels directly onto CDs and DVDs. A
LightScribe-enabled CD or DVD disc drive uses the optical laser in the drive to burn a label
onto a thin dye coating on the label side of the disc. There is no ink to smear or paper to
curl, and there are no adhesives to loosen.
LightScribe requirements
Burning a label with LightScribe requires three things:
A LightScribe-enabled disc drive (select models only), identified by the
LightScribe logo
Labeling software that supports LightScribe
A writable LightScribe disc (sold separately)
