Patent ID: 7084895

Claim:
A method for labeling an optically writable label side of an optical disc comprising at least one of: multiply passing over a track of the optically writable label side of the optical disc with an optical marking mechanism, such that the optical marking mechanism writes to the track during each pass; and, advancing the optical marking mechanism from the track to a next track of the optically writable label side of the optical disc, such that a starting position on the track is radially non-collinear with a starting position on the next track, wherein multiply passing over the track of the optically writable label side of the optical disc with the optical marking mechanism comprises: during a first pass over the track, writing to one or more first pixels of the track with a first marking intensity of the optical marking mechanism; and, during a second pass over the track writing to one or more second pixels of the track with a second marking intensity of the optical marking mechanism, the one or more second pixels mutually exclusive with the one or more first pixels.
