Hi Murat,
Two things you need to consider…
If you are using Output#1 to trigger your laser then do not use Output #1 for your spindle relay control (M3,M4,M5).
The commands M11P1 (turn Output#1 ON) and M10P1 (turn Output#1 OFF) only take effect upon axis (any axis) movement.
So to operate your laser you would need something like this…
M11P1
X10
M10P1
X0

There are more details in the laser thread here; http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,12444.0.html

If these are your settings…
Laser trigger connected to Port2 Pin1
Set Output#2 (Ports & Pins) to Port2 Pin1
M11P2
X10
M10P2
X0
%
The above code will turn the laser trigger ON (during the X10 move) and OFF at the end.

In Ports and Pins do you have Output#2 Enabled and is the Active High / Low set correctly for your laser ??
Do you actually have a second parallel port (Port2) card in your PC and is it configured to the correct port address within Mach3 ??

You may need to contact the manufacturer of your DDCM6 to check but (like many of the chinese cards) as far as I am aware it does not support the M10 / M11 command set.
If you attach your .xml file I can check your set-up and may be able to suggest alternatives for correct laser operation.
Your .xml file is located in the Mach3 folder and is named <your profile>.xml (Typically Mach3Mill.xml). You will need to rename it to something unique (ie. Enrique.xml) to be able to post it (using the Additional Options tab).
