    Help With original Setup. Parallel port?

    I have a Taig mill with a Stepmaster NC SOP-2 controller and running mach3. I've set up the motor outputs, and entered in steps per inch. And all steppers are set on active low. But my machine isn't jogging. And when I go into the diagnostics no LEDs are lighting up on the parrallel port. And Ideas? Thanks for your help

    Make sure all the pins are set to port1, and not port 0. Last column in the motor pins screen.
