  * Laser:
  *  M3 - Laser ON/Power (Ramped power)
  *  M4 - Laser ON/Power (Ramped power)
- *  M5 - Set power output to 0 (leaving inline mode unchanged).
  *
  *  M3I - Enable continuous inline power to be processed by the planner, with power
  *        calculated and set in the planner blocks, processed inline during stepping.
- *        Within inline mode M3 S-Values will set the power for the next moves e.g. G1 X10 Y10 powers on with the last S-Value.
+ *        In inline mode M3 S-Values will set the power for the next moves.
+ *        (e.g., G1 X10 Y10 powers on with the last S-Value.)
  *        M3I must be set before using planner-synced M3 inline S-Values (LASER_POWER_SYNC).
  *
  *  M4I - Set dynamic mode which calculates laser power OCR based on the current feedrate.
  *
- *  M5I - Clear inline mode and set power to 0.
- *
  * Spindle:
  *  M3 - Spindle ON (Clockwise)
  *  M4 - Spindle ON (Counter-clockwise)
- *  M5 - Spindle OFF
  *
  * Parameters:
  *  S<power> - Set power. S0 will turn the spindle/laser off.
