I should perhaps mention that engraved items, such as this tree image (330mm x 280mm) can easily be laser reproduced by either Mach3 or Mach4 without generating (or using) any Gcode at all – they are produced directly by the motion controller which scans the specified .jpg image then outputs axis movement together with a PWM signal (to control laser power) relating to the relevant pixel value from the image. It may sound complicated but it is simple enough.
