Rotary Axis Marking Problem

Plasma cutting on my rotary works perfect including ohmic touch off, but when marking my rotary's B Axis and X Axis begin to move before my Z axis (marker) touches the material. So about an inch of writing is missed on every new start point. I'm using mach3 and output is through parallel port and a break out board. All plasma z moves are done at around 60 inches a minute when cutting but when it's marking it seems that it's plunging at around 10 inches a minute. So it misses about an inch of writing. Everything would work if B and X axis waited till Z axis was done with it's move.
Thanks
