Using Proxy Settings - PrintFleet TASKalfa 2551ci User Manual

Using proxy
settings
2. Optional--only if you use a non-standard port--enter the port
number after a colon after a hostname. For example,
printfleet.com:84.
3. Click the Test button to verify that communication can be
established with the central server. You will receive either a
success or failure message.
Note When the Printer DCA performs the test, if one or
more files fail to transmit, it automatically
performs a subsequent test to help diagnose the
nature of the problem. This subsequent test
involves sending the following http network
request:
http://networktest.printfleet.com/
4. Click Save to retain changes.
If you are having problems obtaining successful communication
between the Printer DCA and the central server, see
"Troubleshooting Printer DCA communication problems" on
page 12.
If a network being scanned with a Printer DCA uses a proxy server,
you can configure the Printer DCA to use the proxy settings, which
will allow the Printer DCA to scan the network.
Note Each Windows login account has its own proxy
configuration. When the Use Windows proxy
settings option is selected, the Printer DCA service
and the Printer DCA application GUI each use their
own configuration. This can result in different
settings between when a user runs the Printer DCA
application and when the service runs using local
system account settings.
To use a manual proxy configuration:
1. Under the Communication tab of the Printer DCA, in the Proxy
Configuration area, select one of the following: Use Windows
proxy settings (no other configuration required), Use custom
proxy settings, or None (to disable proxy settings).
2. If you have selected Use custom proxy settings, enter the
server and port information in the Server and Port boxes,
respectively.
3. If the proxy server requires authentication, select the
Authentication check box, and then do one of the following:
• Select Default to use the authentication currently being
used on the computer installed with the Printer DCA.
• Select Custom, and then click Load Current to populate
the fields with the current authentication being used by the
computer installed with the Printer DCA, or choose the
PrintFleet Printer DCA
