LightScribe Technology
Bringing Your CDs and DVDs to Life!

No doubt you’ve labeled your CD and DVD collections with magic markers or sticky adhesive labels that tend to fray and peel. No matter how neat you are, this labeling technique lacks the professional feel you get from pre-produced disks. And it’s certainly not a system that adequately reflects the great quality video and music you’ve painstakingly collected over the years. Thanks to LightScribe Technology those ragtag days of sloppy looking labels are over. Now you can create customized, professional-looking labels using the same laser that burns your data-right inside your CD/DVD drive! And it’s all incredibly simple to do with LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology.

It's easy to burn a label with LightScribe. Follow these short steps to start burning right away. Remember, making labels and burning your data are two separate steps. You may burn your data either before or after you burn your label.
Click Here For More Info »

Make sure you have a LightScribe-enabled disc drive. Just look for the LightScribe logo on the outside of your drive or somewhere on your computer.
Click Here for Lightscribe Burners »

Get your LightScribe media. Look for the LightScribe logo on the CD and DVD packages at your favorite retailers. Regular CDs and DVDs can not be Lightscribe labeled.
Click For our CD-R Lightscribe Discs or DVD Lightscribe Discs
Install your label-making software (it may already be pre-installed on new PCs). Use the install CD that came bundled with your hardware or purchase
label-burning software here »

In addition to label-making software, you'll need LightScribe System Software. Each hardware manufacturer will provide the optimal version for their systems, but universal versions are also available in our Downloads section for Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. In some cases, the LightScribe System Software is included in the labeling application. Otherwise, it needs to be installed separately.
Create your label design. If you have an application that creates disc labels, click the their step-by-step instructions.

About ENERGY STAR
ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy in 2007 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 27 million cars — all while saving $16 billion on their utility bills.

ENERGY STAR Qualified Products
Products in more than 50 categories are eligible for the ENERGY STAR. They use less energy, save money, and help protect the environment. Ask for the ENERGY STAR.  Energy efficient choices can save families and businesses about a third on their energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice.  If looking for new household products, look for ones that have earned the ENERGY STAR. They meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and US Department of Energy.

What is ExpressCard™ technology?
ExpressCard technology is the name of a new standard introduced by PCMCIA in spring 2003. The ExpressCard standard delivers thinner, faster and lighter modular expansion to desktop and notebook computer users. Consumers can add hardware capabilities such as memory, wired and wireless communications cards and security devices by simply inserting these modules into their systems. All ExpressCard slots accommodate modules designed to use either Universal Serial Bus (USB*) 2.0, or the emerging PCI*Express standards.

What Is A Cell? It's a battery
Though technically a battery has multiple cells, we are accustomed to calling a single energy cell a battery as well.

In electronics, a battery or voltaic cell is a combination of many electrochemical Galvanic cells of identical type to store chemical energy and to deliver it in the form of electricity.  The battery cells combine to produce more energy (voltage or amps) than a cell by itself.  When joined in this way, it is a battery of cells.  Almost all portable electronics use one or more cells - rechargeable or disposable.  The more cells, the more energy available - meaning more hours of use usually.

In Notebook computers, the battery case usually holds three or more cells.  3 Cell batteries tend to provide about 1-3 hours of use, depending on the energy needs of the Laptop.  6 cell (or more) batteries provide much more energy, and many more hours of use.  This can be good or bad!  More cells mean longer use, but more weight too!

So remember to always check for the number of cells if specified, and choose the right configuration for your use.

Battery Trivia:  The invention of the first battery (known as a Voltaic pile) was in 1800 by Alessandro Volta!  The first known usage of the battery (as we know it today) was in 1863 by the physician named Flora Bills.

What Is USB 2.0?
USB 1.1 was great when it was introduced almost a decade ago.  But the newer USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port, though some newer devices are specifically designed for USB 2.0.  It is always a good idea to verify the version of USB supported by each device you want to use.
