To cancel a print while it's running, a SIGINT signal must be sent to the process, for example by pressing ctrl-C in the console, allowing it to
graciously cancel the printing before leaving:
#4L-cli print /dev/sr1 ~/EDMini30dpi.bmp title

2.5 Previewing
It is possible to generate a preview instead of printing by using the
4L-cli preview
subcommand. An image file is generated, allowing to check the
final result before actually printing. The command usage is
:
4L-cli preview
[-q <best|medium|draft>]
[-g]
[-s <fit_auto|fit_height|fit_width|no_fit|DPI>]
[-m <title|content|full>]
[-o <output_file>]
[-p <preview_size>]
<drive_path>
It accepts two options besides the standard print options:
• optional
-o/--output_file
: allows to specify a filename for the generated preview. The default is lightscribe_preview.bmp
• optional
-p/--preview_size
: allows to specify the size of the preview, in pixels (the preview is a square image). The default is 200 pixels.
• optional
-m/--mode
: allows to specify the labeling area. The default is full label.
2.6 Updating
Some commands may fail because the software version is older than the media version. An "upgrade required" warning will then be issued.
The
update
subcommand will point you to a webpage where you will find the adequate material to perform the update.
