A:AnswerHello. With ink-jet printer technology, a printer can run into clogging issues if left without use at times. If you plan on using the ET-2850 daily, this should significantly reduce the chances of that happening. If you are not printing often, we recommend printing out a nozzle test pattern from the menu to ensure ink is still cycling through the print head. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Joe. Yes, the ET-2850 is compatible to work with Airprint on your Apple mobile device. There is no need to install any additional software for functionality. For more information, please see the User's Guide on the official Epson Support page. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.

A:AnswerHi Meha29, Generally, ink in the EcoTank ET-2850 can evaporate, does not go bad. But, if you do not print for long periods, ink can dry around the nozzles and may cause clogs. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello FOO3. Yes, the ET-2850 is compatible with Mac OS 11 Big Sur. To download the latest print driver software, please visit our official Epson Support page. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Jake. The ET-2850 can only scan documents and send them via email using the Epson ScanSmart application on a computer. This allows you to scan your original and attach it to a message in your e-mail program such as Microsoft Outlook, Mac Mail, Windows Live Mail, and Entourage. Also, you can set up Epson Connect services on the printer, which allows you to print and scan documents using a registered e-mail. Unfortunately, the printer does not have scan-to-email functionality directly on the control panel or through the Epson Smart Panel app. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Felix. We would like to gather more details regarding the message on your ET-2850. Please contact our Technical Support team by phone so that we can review the options available for your printer. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Chris. The printer does not include an automatic head-cleaning feature. You can initiate a cleaning by going into the maintenance menu or from the print settings on a computer. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello David. Yes, the ET-2850 can print on No.10 envelopes. You can load up to ten envelopes in the rear paper feed. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Sharon. Unfortunately, we have not tested fabric sheets on the ET-2850, so we cannot guarantee print functionality. We recommend reaching out to the manufacturer of the fabric sheets to confirm compatibility with our all-in-one printers that use a mixture of dye and pigment-based inks.
