When attempting to Lightscribe on Lightscribe Media, my recorder fails to recognize the LightScribe Media, and is unable to begin the process? What to do?

First, make sure that you've 'flipped' the disc, so that the LightScribe label (top side) is placed in your recorder, label side down. Second, ensure that you are using LightScribe Media. All LightScribe Media will have the LightScribe logo in the center of the disc. Third, be sure that your LightScribe System Software (LSS) is up-to-date. Updated LSS is required for proper operation of your LightScribe system. Updates are released regularly to support new hardware or recently introduced LightScribe CD-R's and DVDR's, and will ensure optimal and reliable operation of your LightScribe Labeling system. Go here to download (for Windows). For MAC or Linux, click on same link, then select your OS link on left of screen. Fourth, be sure that your LightScribe labeling software is up-to-date. For a free LightScribe template labeler or a free LightScribe Simple Labeler, go here to download (for Windows).  more
