Proxy Server
A proxy server acts as a go-between for clients seeking services and servers that provide them. The
proxy server filters client requests and if the requests conform to the proxy server’s filtering rules,
grants the request and allows the connection.
A proxy server has two main purposes:
• To keep any devices behind it anonymous for security purposes.
• To decrease the amount of time needed to access a resource by caching content, such as Web
pages from a Web server.
Note: If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see Accessing
CentreWare IS on page 17.
