LightScribe Template Labeler
The LightScribe Template Labeler and LightScribe System Software included with the Premium
Pro LightScribe Series duplicator are required for creating the necessary print image files for the
LightScribe Print feature to work.
Do not update or attempt to use any version of the LightScribe Template Labeler or the
LightScribe System other than those provided by Microboards Technology.
To successfully create print image files that can be used with the Premium Pro
LightScribe Series duplicator, launch the LightScribe Template Labeler application
using the LightScribe shortcut on your desktop.
For all LightScribe printing, you must use .lsi files created by following the steps below
using the LightScribe Template Labeler provided with your Premium Pro LightScribe
Duplicator.
The first step is to select the template you wish to
use for the print image. The number of images you
would like to add to the print image, the amount of
text you need to include, and the background image
will all determine which template to select.
Click Next when you have chosen your template.
Additional template packages are available for
downloading at www.lightscribe.com/go/labelgallery
.
After choosing your template, add images or text to
the design. For more information on this process,
please review the Help menu in the application.
When you are done with this step, click the Preview
and Print button.
Do not create a file using the Save button, as
this will not give you a printable file.
In the Preview window, select Microboards
LightScribe Writer as the Drive.
Select the Contrast Level. Options are Best,
Normal, and Draft. By default, Best is selected.
The Disc Color will only change the color of the
displayed preview, and will have no impact on the
printed disc. The base color of the disc will not be
changed during printing.
Finally, click the Print button and provide the name
of the print image file and location to which you
would like to save the file.
Once your .lsi print image file is created, burn the print image to a disc for use in the Premium Pro
LightScribe Series duplicator, or use the External Connection setting to allow you to copy the .lsi
file from your PC directly into the Duplicator/labels directory on the duplicator hard drive.
Note: Using the Windows XP or Vista burn to disc utility will result in print images that
cannot be recognized by the LightScribe tower. You must use another burn utility,
such as Zulu2 (included with your LightScribe tower) to burn your images to disc.
