Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet T-Series Fax Device May Be Slow or May Not Respond (256859)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
This article was previously published under Q256859 SYMPTOMS
Devices such as Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet T-series fax and printer devices (although not necessarily limited to T-series devices) may not work properly. The device may seem slow, or may not respond to commands.
CAUSE
If a program queries for available credits but no credits are available, the program requests credits from the peripheral (in this case, the fax device). When this occurs, the Dot4.sys driver "floods" the peripheral with zero-credit grants. These are essentially meaningless transactions. However, devices are required to respond to these requests in a timely manner. In some cases, the peripheral can use so much of its processing power in responding to these requests that it cannot process valid requests.
