LightScribe Forum : Open Topic - General Questions : Need LS Drive just to design?  




Hi,

I hope someone has a way around this and I can't see how I'm missing something but anything's possible.

I went to use the simple labeler software from here.

I am the one that was to play around with different wording and fonts and all that and then I would save the project as a file in whatever type LS would use and get it to the people with the burner, they would open the project in their same exact program and they would burn the discs.

But I find that the software won't show me a preview since I don't have a LS drive on here.

All I want is a preview, I can't see why having the drive and a disc are necessary just for a preview. That's like Photoshop telling me I don't have a printer so I can't use it or Pro Tools saying that since I don't have a cd burner I can't work on a song.

Is there some way around this please?

I sure hope it's just that I'm overlooking something.

Thanks in advance

     What I have noticed is that the font used for the label must also be installed on the machine used for the printing process the label will not print as designed. I would assume this behaviour should also be present in the Simple Labeler.
