Disc Labeling with LightScribe LightScribe (select models only) is a direct disc-labeling technology providing you a simple way to burn precise, silk screen-quality labels. It combines the CD or DVD drive of your HP Media Center PC with specially coated discs (sold separately) and enhanced disc-labeling software. A LightScribe-enabled CD or DVD disc drive uses the optical laser in the drive to record a label onto a thin dye coating on the label side of the disc. There is no ink to smear or paper to curl, and there are no adhesives to loosen. LightScribe media is identified by the LightScribe logo on the retail packaging and on the inner hub area of the disc itself. Your HP Media Center PC may come ready to work with many versions of LightScribe media (select models only); however, as new media versions are introduced you will need to update the driver software for your LightScribe-enabled CD or DVD drive.

direct disc-labeling technology

combines the CD or DVD drive of your HP Media

A LightScribe-enabled CD or DVD disc drive uses
the optical laser in the drive to record a label onto a
thin dye coating on the label side of the disc. There
is no ink to smear or paper to curl, and there are no
adhesives to loosen.
LightScribe media is identified by the LightScribe

may come ready to work with many versions of
LightScribe media (select models only); however,
as new media versions are introduced you will
need to update the driver software for your
LightScribe-enabled CD or DVD drive. Get
