ET-1810 is a print-only ink-tank printer

The product specifies printing with USB, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct. Generic scan, CD/DVD or other-model FAQs on the support portal do not establish scanner, copier or disc-printing hardware on ET-1810. This guide applies the shared ET-1810/L1250 manual to ET-1810.

Windows/Mac files and the Linux search scope

ItemCheck
Windows 11The selected result lists Driver v3.80.05, 9 October 2026, 68.91MB EXE. Distinguish the print driver from Product Setup, Software Updater and Connection Checker. An Updater ARM64 note was not used as proof of the driver’s binary architecture.
macOS 15 (Sequoia)Exact macOS 15 result lists Driver v13.48, 11 May 2026, 82.62MB DMG. Installation, signatures and Apple Silicon runtime were not tested.
LinuxOfficial Linux result links to a separate search for supported products. Verify the exact ET-1810 Series result, package, CPU and distribution before assuming Linux compatibility.

Distinguish USB, router Wi-Fi and Direct

ItemCheck
USBThe PC interface is Hi-Speed USB; the manual excludes USB 3.0 cables. Check a cable that fits the actual printer port.
Wi-FiIEEE 802.11b/g/n, 2.4GHz infrastructure connection. Compare the router network name on the report.
Wi-Fi DirectSimple AP connects directly to the printer. Distinguish it from router Wi-Fi and check the current route on the status sheet.

A generic Ethernet FAQ does not establish a wired LAN port; use this model’s verified interface list.

Load the rear paper feeder

  1. Extend the rear paper support and move the edge guides apart.
  2. Load centrally with the printable side up; keep plain paper below the marked guide line.
  3. Feed ordinary paper short edge first and align the edge guides. Check the separate official conditions for custom long paper.
  4. Extend the output tray; match the application’s paper type/size to the loaded stock.

Print a nozzle pattern with Power and Stop

  1. Load A4 plain paper and switch off using the power button.
  2. Hold Stop (the inverted triangle in a circle) while powering on.
  3. Release the buttons when the power light flashes; wait for the pattern.
  4. Compare cases A/B/C below. This nozzle check prints without a PC print job.
ItemCheck
AAll lines present: no further cleaning needed.
BSome missing lines: while powered on, hold Stop for five seconds until the power light flashes to start ordinary head cleaning.
CMost lines absent: first check Power Cleaning ink-level and waiting requirements.

Network reports, codes and PC comparison

Load paper: press Information (network/i symbol) once for the connection report; hold at least seven seconds for the detailed status sheet. Holding Information during power-on restores network defaults, so keep it separate from report printing.

ItemCheck
E-2 / E-3 / E-7Check router power, device connection, SSID, distance/obstacles and a supported frequency such as 2.4GHz.
E-5Compare router security with the official supported list; consult the administrator rather than weakening a managed network.
E-6Check whether MAC filtering permits this printer and whether the router’s device limit is reached.

  1. Common PC check: compare the device nozzle pattern with application output.
  2. Common PC check: compare the selected queue, actual USB/wireless route and current report address.
  3. If device output is good but PC jobs fail, check the exact ET-1810 driver and paper settings.

Ink levels, cleaning limits and pad service

Visually check actual tank levels; prolonged use below the lower line can cause damage. Do not switch off or open the front cover during ordinary cleaning. If three nozzle-check/cleaning cycles do not help, wait at least 12 hours without printing before checking again.

Before Power Cleaning, ensure every tank is at least one-third full and allow at least 12 hours between runs. It also consumes pad capacity, so avoid unnecessary repetition. The ink pads are not user-serviceable; contact authorized service.
