Printing optical disc player/recorder

摘要

This disclosure provides a stand alone printing optical disc player/recorder for use in connection with CD's, DVD's, and Mini-Discs. In a particular embodiment the printing player/recorder has a combined player/recorder unit and an inkjet printer. Using a platter transport the printer player/recorder is capable of reading or writing information to a provided optical disc and then printing a label upon the optical disc without removing the disc from the system. The label printed may also be generated from the information read from or written to the optical disc itself thereby insuring a match between the label and the information encoded upon the optical disc. Associated methods of use are also provided.
