Burn a Disc Label Using LightScribe
LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling is a disc labeling technology that enables you to
burn disc labels simply by flipping the disc 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 to produce precise,
silkscreen-quality labels.
Note: Using LightScribe, you can only print disc labels. You cannot print other types of
labels using LightScribe technology.
To burn a disc label using LightScribe, do this:
1. Open Cyberlink LabelPrint and display the Print page.
Note: You must have selected LightScribe as your label type. See "Select a Label Type"
on page 9.
2. Click . The LightScribe wizard opens.
3. Select a quality level:
• Best (Recommended) - Provides the sharpest contrast with the longest burn
time. Use Best level for important business transactions, gifts, and personal
keepsakes.
• Normal - Provides moderate burn time with good contrast. Use Normal level
for professional labels.
• Draft - Provides the fastest burn time with lowest contrast. Use Draft level for
utility labels.
4. Click Preview to see how your LightScribe disc might appear after labeling.
Note: Text or images that extend beyond the editable region are cropped when
printing. If your label is cropped, you may select a different layout style on the Edit
Layout page. See "Edit a Label’s Layout" on page 12.
5. Click Next to begin burning your label. 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.
