Symptoms

Assume that you have a Web Services for Devices (WSD)-based scanner installed on a computer that is running one of the following operating systems:

  • Windows 8

  • Windows Server 2012

  • Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

When you click New Scan in Windows Fax and Scan, the scan operation fails. Additionally, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

An error occurred while setting scanner properties. If another program is scanning, please wait for it to complete and try again.


Cause

This issue occurs because it takes longer than expected for the scan data to be transferred from the WSD scanner to the computer. Therefore, the read request returns empty data to the driver of the WSD scanner. Then, the driver for the WSD scanner assumes that an issue occurred and interrupts the scan operation.

Resolution

This hotfix is also available at Microsoft Update Catalog.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notes
Important Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, SR_Level (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:

    Version

    Product

    Milestone

    Service branch

    6.1.760
    0.18xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    GDR

    6.1.760
    1.22xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    SP1

    LDR

  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
