Review your Devices and Printers
Citrix Receiver On Macbook M1
Checking your printer list and reducing it can make an impact on connection time. This is relevant because when connecting to our servers, Citrix maps each device that is installed locally. If there are numerous devices or devices no longer found, this could potentially impact your application's launch time. Within your Mac, please verify the number of devices that are installed on your machine. This information can be found by going to system preferences.
- Select the Apple at the top left of your machine and choose System Preferences - Printers and Scanners
- Review the list of devices you have installed
- Remove any devices that you do not currently use by simply highlighting the device and selecting the minus button.
Change the Screen Resolution in your Citrix settings
Some Macs have various screen resolution sizes, and sometimes have difficulties connecting to the server because of this.
- To set a screen resolution, log into https://cloud.designmanager.com
- Click on the Settings option.
- Within the User Experience section, use the drop down to change the Window Size.
- By default this is set to 'Seamless'. We recommend changing this to a set screen size; for example, 1280 X 1024. This ensures a set screen size when connecting to the server and can drastically improve connection times. BE SURE to click SAVE after these changes have been made.
NOTE: when launching the program you'll notice the application will open in its own separate window; to make it full screen, simply click the green expand button at the top right of your Mac for a full screen experience.
