#### Get ready

1. Make sure you have special LightScribe CDs or DVDs. LightScribe works when the hardware interacts with the special coating that can only be found on LightScribe discs.
   - Specially coated LightScribe discs are available at major retail stores or online.
   - LightScribe discs are identified by the LightScribe logo on the media package.
   - LightScribe discs are available in many colors. To have a colored disc background, you must use a colored disc.
2. Launch LightScribe Template Labeler. You can burn the label onto the disc either before or after you put the disc content (for example, movies, music, or photos) onto the disc.
3. Insert the disc label-side down (coated-side down) into the LightScribe drive. The first time the software launches, the splash screen displays. You can choose to click Don't show me this again.
