Re-calibrate your machine.

Use the Set Steps per Unit calibration feature (Settings page) - follow the on-screen instructions using the largest measurement distances you can.

The simplest solution may be to just obtain a new PCI parallel port card that outputs 5Volt TTL signals. This thread may help https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,34848.0.html

Connect a multimeter between an axis Direction Pin and GND. When jogging that axis in one direction you should get approx. 5Volts and in the other direction approx. 0Volts.

I use an ESS Smooth Stepper with one machine https://warp9td.com/ and a 57CNC on another machine
https://www.poscope.com/product/pokeys57cnc/ - both have excellent support and backup.

A couple of laser produced images from the same .jpg - there must be an infinite number of variations possible by using different techniques / settings, the problem is deciding which one I like the best.
