Hi,
Machs parallel port is actually much more than just a port, its a software driven motion controller. You can only have one motion controller, either an ESS OR a parallel port,
you can't have both.
The ESS has three ports, set up and numbered to match the old-school parallel port which it replaces. If you have motor motion, jogging etc through the ESS then
all three ports should work. Note the in the ESS plugin you can select, at least for ports two and three, to have pins 2-9 (of each port) as inputs OR outputs. How have you set
them up?
