- There is also a shortcut menu running down the side. If you run your mouse over the buttons writing will appear telling you what they do.
When you have finished designing your Lightscribe label click on the Lightscribe icon in the top menu to print onto your disc. Make sure the correct disc is inserted into the drive, with the top of the disc facing down.
Notes:
- Under the objects menu you can also choose Arrange. This lets you move text forward or back in the layer order. I usually bring the text to the front and the picture behind.
- You can also go to the file menu at the top and choose Open. Now you can browse for a previously saved label design. Then you can press the Lightscribe icon to immediately print to disc.
