Connecting a printer
To connect a local printer to your thin client, ensure that you obtain and use the correct adapter cables. Before use, you may
need to install the driver for the printer by following the printer driver installation instructions. For information about connecting
to a printer, see Configuring the printer setup.
Desktop overview
ThinOS boots to the desktop screen. This is the default screen that is displayed after you log in to the thin client—without
autostart of any connections or applications.

The ThinOS desktop consists of the following screen elements:
● Desktop menu —Displays the main menu that provides access to all the ThinOS configurations.
● Taskbar—Contains the system tray area that displays the date, time, and notification icons.
● Connection and application shortcuts—Provides quick access to available server connections and published applications.
● Broker login window—Enables you to log in to the Citrix broker session using your login credentials.
NOTE: The Dell logo is updated from ThinOS 9.0.3030 (MR2) version.
