-Starting with Software Configurator version 4.0, any file that ends in .ngcl extension will have all Z moves and spindles controls removed when loading the file. These are then automatically replaced with the M-codes needed to control the laser.
+Starting with Software Configurator version 4.0, any file that ends in .ngcl extension will have all Z moves, tool references, and spindles controls removed when loading the file. These are then automatically replaced with the M-codes needed to control the laser. To use, simply create an engraving or profile tool path using any tool in the CAM software, either rename (or create a custom post processor to rename) the file to .ngcl extension. Load the file into LinuxCNC, drive the laser to about 1/8" about the part, and start the program.
 {{template:warning|1=Always wear laser safety glasses whenever in the same room with the laser and while drivers safety lockout key is inserted into the laser driver. Always remove the safety lockout key whenever the laser module is not in use.}}

	For safety reasons the laser will only turn on when running G-code. If for whatever reason the program is stopped (ie E-STOP is pressed) you must ensure to manually reset the laser driver board (red button) and turn off the power command via the sidebar LASER OFF button before running again.
