Why the Laser dont shut down on "Fill" mode?

I have had the trial version of Lightburn since yesterday. I have set the “laser control commands” to M03 / M05. That also works quite well. Only somehow only with “offset filling”. With “Filling”, where he goes through the individual lines, the M05, which switches off the laser, is always missing. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? In the preview it is shown as if it would turn off, but after exporting it does not.

Part from exported code:

M03 S255
G1X0.586 F2100
M03 S0
G1X1.052Y0.3
M03 S255
G1X-0.753
M03 S0
G1X-0.615
M03 S255
G1X-0.898
M03 S0
G1X-1.484Y0.3
M03 S255
G1X0.215
M03 S0
G1X0.802
M03 S255
G1X1.105
M03 S0
G1X0.128
M03 S255
G1X1.013
M03 S0
G1X0.882
M03 S255
G1X1.086
M03 S0
G1X2.668
M03 S255

As can be seen, M03 (switches the laser on) keeps coming, but never M05 to switch off. If I do it like that, in the end I just get a black, even surface, but don’t keep the engraving I wanted, because the laser doesn’t go out where it shouldn’t shine.

With “offset filling” it works. That’s why I’ve engraved everything with it until now. So there the laser goes out where it should. The file also contains M05.

I am very grateful for any help.

If it’s filling is normal than it does at full power, or at least at power you choose for filling, is true he does not shut off laser but M3 S0 is similar to M5.
M3 S255 put laser at full power, M3 S0 pratically turn off beam.

Ok, thanks. I thought the same after my message. But my Laser is still at the same power at M03 S255 or M03 S0.

I have to write M2 S1000 manually in front of the exportet file. If not, the laser will not go on. The S1000 is the Power that my laser takes. That goas from 0 (0% Power) -1000 (100% Power). The laser is from that on always the same power no matter what stand after M03. Can you tell me why?

What is your S-Value Max setting in Device Settings? It’s probably set to 255. Switch this to 1000 if your configuration requires 1000.

Thanks, but i dont know how to change this value. In The 3D-Printer itselv i cant change that i think. There are no properties.
And it dont go off on M03 S0, so that will not work if I set this to 1000 anyway i think.

in LB you have to go in device settings
