What is LightScribe?
LightScribe is a disc-labeling technology that lets
you laser-etch a label directly on your disc. Creating
professional-looking discs is easy: burn your disc, flip
the disc over, and then burn your label onto the disc.
The same drive that burns your data, burns your
label. The LightScribe labeling system has no ink to
smear, no paper to curl, and no sticky adhesive to
cause problems.
HARDWARE, SOFTWARE AND MEDIA
There are three things you need to successfully use the Direct Disc
Labeling feature on your EZ Writer CD/DVD burner: LightScribe hard-
ware, LightScribe software and LightScribe media.
1. Hardware
You will see the LightScribe logo on the outside of your EZ Writer
CD/DVD burner (depending on the model you have purchased) and
your box will be clearly marked with the LightScribe direct disc labeling
logo. This confirms that it is equipped with the Direct Disc Labeling
LightScribe technology.
2. Software
Your EZ Writer CD/DVD burner comes with the necessary LightSribe
Direct Disc Labeling System Software. This will allow you to create
personalized CD and DVD labels and burn them directly onto the CD’s
and DVD’s with your Light-Scribe enabled EZ Writer burner.
3. Special CDs or DVDs.
LightScribe works when the hardware interacts with the special coating
that can only be found on LightScribe discs. Specially coated Light-
Scribe discs are available at major retail stores or online. LightScribe
discs are identified by the LightScribe logo on the media package.
