What do I need for LightScribe labeling?
To create a LightScribe label, you’ll need the following things: • A LightScribe-enabled optical drive. Although LightScribe technology makes use of existing hardware, unique hardware and firmware components are required to enable LightScribe labeling. • Software. This consists of two applications that may need to be loaded on your computer separately. • LightScribe System Software; this is very similar to a device driver but is specific to LightScribe commands. Each hardware manufacturer will provide the optimal version for their systems, but a universal version can be downloaded here. Please note that in some cases, the LightScribe System Software may need to be loaded separately from the Labeling applications. • Labeling application. This is the program you use to create your label content and send the commands to the LightScribe drive. It may have been included with your hardware, or it can be purchased separately. See our list of qualified LightScribe labeling applications here. •
