Methods of and computer readable media for automatically setting up page files for labels for compact disc media

Abstract

Methods and computer readable media generate a page file representing a compact disc label sheet having label blanks thereon for one or both of a compact disc case or a compact disc. The sheet may have a label for one or both of the compact disc case and the compact disc. The method provides such sheet, wherein the sheet supports the labels at any of a plurality of locations. The sheet with the labels supported at particular locations define a particular geometric layout configuration. One or more images may also be on the sheet. Operations of the method optically accent the particular configuration, and then scan the optically accented configuration to generate a digital representation of the sheet. All of the images are then excluded from the digital representation so that the remaining digital representation represents only the labels. The remaining digital representation is analyzed to determine the location on the sheet of the labels. A new page file is created to represent the compact disc label sheet having the labels. The page file includes data as to the location on the sheet of the labels. Using the method, and computer readable media having program instructions for performing the method, a user may buy such sheets for which the user's label printing software has no corresponding page file, yet the user need not manually measure the locations of the labels that are on the purchased new sheet to provide label location data, and the user need not enter any label location data into a page file provided by the software.
