Changing the colour settings
Select Display preferences on the Tools menu and go to the Colour page to

images.
• Set Number of colours depending on whether you want coloured pages
and images to be displayed using 4 or 16 greys. Using 16 greys will
improve the quality of the display of web pages, but will slow down
browsing and increase power consumption.
• Set Show coloured text/background in to Black & white or Colour
according to whether you want coloured pages and text to be shown as
black text on a white background or displayed using greys to represent the
colours. Note that images are always displayed in Colour mode.
A proxy server is a remote machine which stores information and performs
actions in place of other machines. So a proxy web server, for example, stores
a large number of web pages from various sources, allowing you to use it as a
single source of pages. Using a proxy server run by your network or Internet
service provider can often make for a faster connection and increased security.
Setting up the Internet program to use a proxy web server
If you set up the Internet program to use a proxy server for web pages, it will
always try to get pages from the specified machine, regardless of the web
location you type in.
