Frequently asked questions
Q: How does LightScribe work?
A: The coating on a LightScribe disc changes color when it's
exposed to the CD/DVD drive's laser. The process is similar
to film exposure, except that the LightScribe surface reacts
specifically to the intense light of the laser.
Q: What happens if I try to use LightScribe to label a non-
LightScribe disc?
A: The software prevents you from sending a label image to a
non-LightScribe disc. LightScribe-enabled software is
designed to recognize a LightScribe disc from the
identification features embossed on it, and the system creates
an image and sends it to the drive only if the appropriate
media is inserted.
Q: Can I use my computer for other things while the
LightScribe label is burning?
A: Yes. The labeling process runs in the background, so the
PC can be used for other tasks while the labeling process is
underway.
Q: Can I leave my computer unattended while the LightScribe
label is burning?
A: Yes. LightScribe presents no tasks that require the user's
attendance during the burning process. In addition, a
LightScribe system will not go into "sleep" or power-save mode
while it is burning a label.
Q: Can I rewrite a LightScribe label, the way I can rewrite a
CD-RW or DVD±RW disc?
A: No. The current LightScribe technology is not erasable.
Once the image is burned, it's permanent.
