Administrator Information
When you assign the printer's IP address by using the DHCP function of the DHCP server or router, it is
automatically set.
The proxy server is placed at the gateway between the network and the Internet, and it communicates to the
computer, printer, and Internet (opposite server) on behalf of each of them. The opposite server communicates
only to the proxy server. Therefore, printer information such as the IP address and port number cannot be read
and increased security is expected.
When you connect to the Internet via a proxy server, configure the proxy server on the printer.
