Proxy server
A server that provides a cache of files available on remote servers that are slow or
expensive to access. The term "proxy server" normally refers to a World Wide Web
server that, upon receiving a URL, tries to supply the requested file from its cache. If
the proxy server cannot locate the file in its cache, it obtains the file from the remote
server, and saves a copy in its cache so that the next request can be obtained locally.

provides flexible font capability and high-quality graphics, especially for

Resolution
The density of dots attained by a device, such as a fax, scanner, or printer, in
producing an image. Expressed in terms of dots per inch (dpi). Low resolution causes
font characters and graphics to have a jagged appearance. Higher resolution means
smoother curves and angles, as well as a better match to traditional typeface designs.
Resolution values are represented by horizontal data and vertical data (e.g.,
600 x 600 dpi).
