Creating LightScribe disc labels with HP Image Zone Plus If you have an optical drive with LightScribe capability, you can quickly create a label for a disc that contains the images you have organized and edited in the HP Image Zone Plus program. 11 From the Disc Label menu, select LightScribe 12cm Disc. 12 Select a Contrast Level and then click OK to begin burning the label. The disc is ejected when the label is complete. The estimated time to complete the label displays, along with a progress bar to show you the time remaining. Printing a label can take up to 40 minutes, depending on how much data is on the label. You can continue to work on your PC while LightScribe is burning the label. NOTE: A sudden bump or vibration of the PC during the labeling process may affect the quality of the label. NOTE: To burn the label, you must use LightScribe media. You must also flip the disc over and place it label side down in the DVD disc tray before the program begins printing the LightScribe label.

The Sonic Express Labeler program opens. 5 Click Text and then enter your text for Title and Subtitle. 6 For each line of content description, click New and enter text for the information you want to include, and then click OK. 7 Click OK again when finished adding all the contents information. 8 Select a label template by clicking Layout and choosing a layout. 9 Select a background, if desired, by clicking Background. Select one of the provided backgrounds or click More to find one of your own images to use as a background.

NOTE: If a message is displayed that the disc is not recognized, you may not have the correct media or you may need to flip the disc over to record your label.
