Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I haven't read all 451 reviews for this printer, but rather than just heap yet more praise upon it, I'll mention a few things I didn't see in those I did check. It has an internal power supply and a plain old normal AC mains power cord. This means no giant lump that blocks the outlets on either side of the surge protector when it's plugged in. And no giant lump in the middle of the cable from there to the printer. This was the most welcome thing for me. The single sheet feeder, as used when printing labels, is very, very precise. As opposed to my old HP printer, where it was always a crap shoot and I would use about two times as many label sheets. Watching and listening to this printer lining up the label sheet is a joy to behold. Heh. The ethernet and USB jacks are inside the printer. You have to lift up the top to access them, and there's only enough space to run one cable at a time to the outside world. That said, the wifi works very well, and is what I'm using now. It handles LONG pass phrases fine. It is, however, only in the 2.4 GHz band. I bought the MFC-J880DW instead of the MFC-J680DW for the ethernet, but as it turns out I really don't need it. Also beware that on Amazon the MFC-J680DW is listed as having ethernet. It definitely does not. The Brother software installs painlessly on both macOS 10.9.5 and 10.12.6. When doing the initial setup, the yellow in the test pattern is not so easy to see. Selecting the clean the printheads and try again does not make it any darker, but it does use lot of ink. "Lot" here means close to one third of the color cartridges supplied with the printer. Printing actual images with yellow in them looks fine. This is a very well made printer, and the manuals are quite clear and easy to follow. I'm definitely more than happy with it...!
