Question
Solution
Is the LaCie Light-
Scribe Labeler software
compatible with older
Mac operating systems?
LightScribe is only compatible with Mac OS 10.3.2 or higher.
Can other computer
applications be used
while my label is being
printed?
Yes. As with most software, you can work on other tasks while LightScribe is
working.
Is the LaCie Light-
Scribe Labeler software
compatible with Mac
OS 10.4.x?
Yes. For Mac OS Tiger support, please download the update from the LaCie support Web
page:
www.lacie.com/support/drivers
. Select “Software” from the category list.
Can I move the applica-
tion to another Mac OS
10.3.x system?
No. In order to run the application on a new system, you must install the package provided
with the DVD Utilities. The package installs the application and a LightScribe resource
library. If you move the application to a new system, the software will start and quit im-
mediately because the library is not found on the system. Therefore, if you want to copy the
application onto a new system, you will have to install the whole package from your original
LaCie DVD Utilities CD-ROM.
Can I burn the label
before burning the data
onto the disc?
Yes. You can burn your label before or after burning your data to LightScribe media.
Why do my labels ap-
pear too faint and not as
clear as the preview?
This is due to the gold base of the discs. To increase the quality of your result: we recommend
using image manipulation software to change your color picture into grayscale and increase
the contrast prior to placing it in your design. We recommend pictures with a resolution of
600dpi for best results (see your User Manual for more details).
I have created a color
LightScribe label, so
why is no color printed
on the media when I
burn?
LightScribe currently supports burning in grayscale only.
Can I erase a burned
label?
No. You cannot erase information burned onto the label but you can add additional informa-
tion.
