Bed heating command missing ?

When I save the Gcode file to a SD card I do not get bed heating commands.

My printer is a Lulzbot TAZ5.

The temperature tab setting is fairly obscure to me.
At the left I see two entries in the Temperature Controller List:
"Primary Extruder"
"Heated bed"
On entry "Primary Extruder" the "Temperature Controller Type" is Extruder and Per-Layer Temperature Setpoints shows "Layer:1,Temperature:240". Temperature Identifier is selected to: T0.
On entry "Heated bed" the "Temperature Controller Type" is Heated Build Platform and Per-Layer Temperature Setpoints show "Layer:1,Temperature:110". Temperature Identifier is selected to: T0 (but I can change it to T1 with same outcome).

The gcode that I see on the SD card contains the following commands.
According to Gcode documentation M104 and M109 are commands for setting extruder temp, but apparently it is being used to set bed temperature. Why ? Has this any meaning to anyone ?

G90
M82
M106 S0
M104 S240 T0
M109 S240 T0
M104 S110 T1
M109 S110 T1

Re: Bed heating command missing ?

Looks like you changed something with the stock TAZ 5 profile that's included with the software, since that works fine and doesn't do what you're describing (just tested again myself to verify).

So I would do this:
- click "edit process settings", click Remove in the top right, and then select your current TAZ 5 profile to remove it
- go to Help --> Configuration Assistant, and select the TAZ 5 profile to re-download the correct profile

Then don't change anything and it will work fine ;)
