A method for setting a laser power of an optical disc drive is provided. To perform a label-printing operation on a label surface of an optical disc, an optical pickup unit is shifted to a control feature zone of the label surface, and a laser power operation is performed prior to initiating label printing using power setup data and sensitivity related to an internal laser diode sensor of the optical pickup unit detected during manufacture of the optical disc drive. Alternatively, power setup data associated both a data surface and a label surface of the optical disc may be detected and stored during manufacture of the optical disc drive, and a laser power of predetermined magnitude may determined based on the power setup data previously stored in association with the seated surface of the optical disc. The power setup data may be represented by a substantially linear equation relating the input voltage to the output laser power. Therefore, an optimum laser power for a label surface may be determined prior to actually printing an image on the label surface, thus minimizing error associated with the output laser power, and enhancing label-printing quality.
