Can you find the data sheet for your motor? http://www.mitsumi.co.jp/latest/Catalog/compo/motor/index_e.html

Probably you can ignore the common wire, leave it unconnected.

I apply the pulses as keeping Enable to 1 and Clock to 1 & 0 again & again to move the step. But it did not. Why? What is batter way to issue pulses from parallel port?
