Note that dvd+rw-booktype uses *undocumented* command picked by Ricoh

different manufacturers are free to assign different meanings to this
command, which is why program in question attempts to guess if unit is
of original Ricoh design.

You have to ask your vendor if they implement support for this. They
most likely don't, but if they do, ask for documentation or program. A.
