The answer is that it depends on the type of firmware you are using.
Let us look at the documentation of G4
to find that G4
is valid for all the listed firmware types:
Pause the machine for a period of time.
Furthermore it states that:
Parameters
- Pnnn Time to wait, in milliseconds (In Teacup, P0, wait until all previous moves are finished)
- Snnn Time to wait, in seconds (Only on Repetier, Marlin, Smoothieware, and RepRapFirmware 1.16 and later)
It clearly shows that the S
parameter (which defines the pause in seconds) is only supported by a few firmware types. Do note that this documentation may not be up-to-date, so it is best to look into the source code or the users manual of the particular firmware you are using.
E.g. if you are using Marlin Firmware, G4 S20
will pause the machine for 20 seconds while G4 P2000
will pause the machine for 2000 milliseconds which is 2 seconds. This means that a different time is requested, to have 20 seconds waiting time you could use G4 P20000
To answer your question what the actual difference between the 2 commands is:
- it is either 18 seconds of extra waiting time if your firmware supports the
S
parameter, or - a firmware that skips or chokes on the command because it is not supported (that also probably depends on your firmware).

The code G4
refers to dwell. (From what I'm seeing, it can be written as either G4
or G04
). P
is the length of dwell time, usually in milliseconds. The parameter S
seems to be invalid, because the only inputs are X
(seconds), P
(milliseconds), or U
(undefined). If you have S20
in your code, it is invalid, whereas P2000
will cause all axes to remain unmoving for 2 seconds before moving on.
(Note: Not all machines will accept X
or U
.)
EDIT: This answer is specific to non-specific g-code, taken from this Source, since the OP did not state any specifics about their firmware type or equipment used.
