A proxy server acts as a go-between for clients that seek services and the servers that provide them. The proxy server filters client requests. If the requests conform to the filtering rules, the proxy server grants the request and allows the connection.

A proxy server has two main purposes:

  • A proxy server keeps any devices behind the server anonymous for security purposes.

  • A proxy server decreases the amount of time required to access information by caching content, such as webpages from a Web server.

Note: Proxy server settings are used for Xerox Remote Print Services, formerly called SMart eSolutions.

To configure proxy server settings:

  1. In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols > Proxy Server.

  2. In the General area, for Use Proxy Server, select Enabled.

  3. For Proxy Server Setup, select an option:

    • Same Proxy for All Protocols: Select this option to use the same proxy settings for HTTP and HTTPS.

    • Different Proxy for Each Protocol: Select this option to use different proxy settings for HTTP and HTTPS.

    • Use Automatic Proxy Configuration Script: Select this option to use an automatic proxy configuration script.

    • Automatically Detect Settings: Select this option to detect proxy settings automatically.

  4. For Addresses to Bypass Proxy Server, type any Web addresses or domains that you want to bypass the proxy server. For example, type the address of your company intranet site.

  5. In the HTTP Server area, type the Server Name and Port Number. The factory default port number is 8080.


    Note:     Ensure that the port number that you set for the device matches the port number that the server is configured to use for this proxy.

  6. If your proxy server is configured to require authentication, for Authentication, select Enabled. Type your credentials in the Login Name and Password fields. Retype the password to confirm.

  7. To use a different proxy server for HTTPS, type the server information in the HTTPS Server area. The default port number is 8080.

  8. To use an automatic proxy configuration script, type the URL for the script in the Use Automatic Proxy Configuration Script area.

  9. Click Apply.
