Frequently Asked Questions
Question
Solution
Can I add pictures/text
to a label that has al-
ready been burned?
Yes. Start with your original label template and then add the new label information. Be sure
to remove your previous information from the template to avoid burning it again. Note that
if you hide the background picture using the “Eye” button, the background will not print.
Can I save my own
template?
No. You have to save your project in your document folder and open it when you want to cre-
ate a similar design. Note that free background pictures are available from
www.lightscribe.com
(Label Gallery).
Can I change a tem-
plate?
No. The existing templates cannot be altered. You must save your modifications under a dif-
ferent file name.
Can I burn onto sev-
eral LightScribe DVD
drives?
Yes. Using version 1.1 or higher: multiple drive printing is integrated into the application. To
update your application, go to:
www.lacie.com/support/drivers
. On older versions,
you must duplicate the application as many times as required (Press the “Alt” key and drag
and drop the application logo). We recommend updating anyway since duplicating the ap-
plication consumes more CPU power.
How can I move or
resize the background
image?
The background image is locked and scaled to fit the disc. You can unlock it by clicking the
lock button. You will then be able to move and resize the background image.
How can I learn the
function of a button?
Move the cursor over the button and a function description will appear after a few seconds.
How can I create an
exact square or circle?
First, select the appropriate tool, and then hold the “shift” key down while creating the square
or circle.
Why can’t I center or
justify the text I inserted
(text format buttons are
not available in the text
box)?
This is normal if you have entered circular text. Circular text cannot be centered or justified.
However, the whole text box can be centered in the middle of the picture. Therefore, if you
would like to center several lines, you can enter them in different text boxes and center those
boxes.
What is the extension of
a file created by Light-
Scribe Labeler?
The extension is “.lightscribe”.
What happens if a disc
hasn’t been properly
inserted (label upwards
for instance)?
LightScribe automatically detects whether or not a disc has been inserted
correctly. If the disc is improperly inserted, it will eject and an error message will display.
Why can’t I email the
LightScribe file I cre-
ated?
Your LaCie LightScribe Labeler creates folders. The file must be stuffed before it can be
emailed.
