These are not stepper motors. They are integrated stepping drives, or
possibly
integrated servo drives.. You
hook the power supply + to the supply terminals, PS - to the ground
terminals,
and the step, dir, and ground connections to your PC's parallel port. The
appropriate connections have to match what the software is expecting.
I can't help you with the torque, but the current and voltage are already
taken care of by the provided power supply.
