Edit: Fixed the quote.
Take a look at the G Code reference at the reprap wiki. G1 commands a move, but you also need to tell the printer what to move. G1 E tells the printer to extrude; G1 X tells the printer to move in the X axis, and so on. http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#G0_.26_G1:_Move
You can't make them all move at the same speed. This all has to do with the steps per mm of each axis. While the X and Z axes will most likely take the same amount of steps, or movements of the stepper motors, to move a given distance, the Z axis will take a different number of steps and the extruder will need to take its own number of steps to extrude a given amount of filament. You use the M92 command to set the steps per mm for each axis.
What type of software are you writing? Printer firmware or something else? If you're going to get it to work with other software (slicers and the like), you'll need to get it to support the set of G Code commands properly.Last edited by 3dkarma; 09-08-2015 at 03:45 PM. Reason: Formatting
