    Hi. I have a sm74 and we are having issues on second unit.

    we have error code that says “finger protecting bar actuated”. We opened the unit and everything looks fine

    Any ideas what it can be? Machine will not run.

    As Ashok said the problem can be caused by the faulty switch stuck or cut wire on the service side.
    Also check the bar at the cylinder cords because also the accumulated ink can activate the bar and it can give this error

    While we are on this subject I need to adjust the fingerboard under the wash up tray it is slightly contacting plate on ds I see it is attached to a bracket that moves both top and bottom bar / cd 74.
