    After tracing the bitmap file, I generated the code with "Pass to G-code".

    The M code is written as "M1, M2, M3" by default.

    A code in the format "M01,M02,M03" is required.

    Please tell me how to set the formatting style.

    I have a workaround rather than a solution. You could use a text editor with regular expression search and replace. There are many free options out there.

    find:   M(\d),
    "M" followed by a digit (\d) followed by a comma.

    replace:   M0\1,
    "M0" then the first bracketed term (i.e. the digit) and a comma

    If it is a typo  < I generated the code with "Pass to G-code" > and you actually mean, you are using Inkscape Gcode tools extension Path to Gcode for milling or lasering etc...

    Under <extensions> <gcode tools> select <tools library> choose for <Default tool> 

    In default tools one can specify <gcode before path> with the <text object tool> selected you can fill in the structure that fits you e.g. >M03 S1000<

    As for <gcode after path> fill in >M05<

    So that resuts in generated Gcode snippet as
