Using the LightScribe Labeler

Once you’ve clicked on the 

Print

 button in the main 

window, the 

Print Options

 window will automatically 

open (to go the 

Drive Info

 section, simply click on the 

Drive Info

 tab). This window will allow you to set the 

contrast level and gives you a printing time-line; make 

several copies; and preview your design before printing.

Contrast Level

The Contrast Level allows you to further customize 

your labels by adjusting the print contrast:

Best –

 This  setting  provides  the  sharpest  contrast, 

with a longer burn time.

Normal –

 This setting provides good quality, with 

the fastest burn time.

Number of Copies

If you will be printing multiple copies of the same 

label  design,  simply  enter  the  total  number  of  copies 

that you’d like to print (the minimum is one and the 

maximum is 999). 

When printing multiple copies, once the first copy 

is completed, the drive’s tray will open and a message 

will appear, prompting you to either insert a new Light-

Scribe disc or to cancel the printing process.

LightScribe Drives

In this window, you can view the connected Light-

Scribe drives. If you have several labels to print, you can 

4.3. Printing a Label

Print Options/Drive Info

 window, simply 

click on the 

Print

 button. From this window, you’ll be 

able to modify your print options, view a preview of the

the drive and media.
