ABSTRACT:
A multi-function digital media drive, has an optical pickup unit (OPU) configured to read data from or write data to a data layer of a digital medium, the OPU being associated with an OPU sled arrangement; an optical print head (OPH) configured to write to a labeling layer, the OPH being associated with an OPH sled arrangement, the OPU and the OPH being positioned on opposite sides of the digital medium; a motor; and a drive train configured to selectively supply motivating rotational energy from the motor to at least one of the OPU sled arrangement and the OPH sled arrangement.
