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 PC with specially coated discs (sold separately) and enhanced disclabeling software. A LightScribe-enabled CD or DVD disc drive uses the optical laser in the drive to burn 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 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 LightScribeenabled CD or DVD drive.

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 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
burn 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 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. Get driver updates from the HP Support Web site:
NOTE:
LightScribe creates a grayscale image similar to a black and white
photograph.
