TAZ 3 Dual Extruder + Simplify3d: stuck on "Bed heating."

After installing the Dual Extruder Tool Head on my TAZ3, gcode generated from Simplyfy3D doesn't work. It just sits on "bed heating." The bed temp is set for 90. The temp bounces between 90 and 89.

Gcode from slic3r works, because it doesn't seem to wait for the temp.

If I know enough about gcode, I could probably edit out the code it's getting stuck on.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

First, you should go read this: http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code

That will explain all of the commands that you care about. Check out M104, M109, M140, and M190.

That being said, I've never encountered this with my printer. After you start a print, how about you copy and paste the communication log so that we can see what is getting sent back and forth? I have a feeling it either isn't reaching the desired temperature or you're waiting for something else like the extruder to reach an impossible temperature (for example if you accidentally sent M109 S10 since you will never reach 10C).
