A server which 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, on receiving a URL, tries to supply the requested file from its cache. If it
cannot locate the file there, the proxy server would bring it from the remote server and
also save a copy in its cache so that the next request can be obtained locally.

Raster graphics describe an image as a pattern of dots, compared to vector graphics
which represent an image as a geometrical formula. Each row of color dots in the
mosaic of color dots constitutes one raster graphic. In a printer, a raster graphic is
used as the master image from which a page is printed, because the image can be
transferred to paper by printing one raster at a time.
This is a print application used with Windows 2000/XP. It can print at higher speeds
than LPD.
Functions are the hardware or software functions of a printer which convert vector
graphic page descriptions from a computer into raster graphic page images that can
be printed.
Server Message Block. A protocol which provides file and printer sharing over a
