 There are several ways to command the laser to fire:
-  - G0 / G1 (**default: on**): enabled by the LASER_FIRE_G1 option in Configuration.h, G0 moves the laser to a specified set of coordinates __without__ firing, a G1 command moves the laser to the specified coordinates __while__ firing.
+  * G0 / G1 (**default: on**): enabled at compile time by the LASER_FIRE_G1 option in Configuration.h, G0 moves the laser to a specified set of coordinates __without__ firing, a G1 command moves the laser to the specified coordinates __while__ firing.
-  - M3 / M5 (**default: on**): enabled by the LASER_FIRE_SPINDLE option in Configuration.h, M3 turns the laser on in place, without requiring it to move.  M5 turns the laser off in place.
-  - E movements (**default: off**): enabled by the LASER_FIRE_E option in Configuration.h, any movement in the E axis (which represents the extruder when controlling a 3D printer) fires the laser.  In this way, the laser can make use of unmodified g code generated for 3D printers.

 Each of these firing controls accepts the following parameters, which can also be manipulated without firing or moving the laser by using them with the M649 command:
