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 meet the proxy server filtering rules, it 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 cache content from resources, such as Web pages from a Web server, to increase resource access time.

To configure proxy server settings:

1. To configure the printer to detect proxy settings automatically, for Auto Detect Proxy Settings, select Enabled.

   Note: If Auto Detect Proxy Settings is enabled, you cannot edit the fields for HTTP Proxy Server, Name or IP Address, and IPV4 Address and Port.

2. For HTTP Proxy Server, select Enabled.
3. Select the Name or IP Address type.
4. Type the appropriately formatted address and port number.
5. If your proxy server requires authentication, next to Authentication, select Enabled.
6. If authentication is enabled, next to Login Name, type the login name for the proxy server.
7. Type the password, then type the password again to verify.
8. To save the new password, click Select to save new password.
9. To add a proxy exception list, for Exception List, type the URL.
10. To use the configured default proxy settings script, for Use Automatic Configuration script, type the URL.
11. Click Apply.

    Note: Proxy server settings apply to features that use HTTP or HTTPS. Examples are, Smart eSolutions, Xerox Online Support, Workflow Scanning destinations and template pool repositories using HTTP or HTTPS. Not all printer models support these features.
