A:AnswerHello Thunder. You can print files from your SD card or USB memory device. Files are accessible from the control panel of the printer. Unfortunately, we cannot confirm compatibility with your device, as we have not tested a Nex5 Sony with the printer, so your results will vary. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.

A:AnswerHello John. Unfortunately, we have not tested Canvas on the ET-8500 to confirm compatibility. Please see the User's Guide on our official Epson Support page for a list of supported Epson media. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello nannerdan. The ET-8500 can connect to most Wi-Fi routers as long as a 2.4 GHz band is available. If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, we recommend giving each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and Home Network 5 GHz. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
