Is It Okay To Turn Off Printer When Not In Use?

I just bought the WF-3540 printer.  I won't be using it every day, so is it okay to turn it off when not in use?  Or is it better for the printer to keep it on all of the time?   Thanks.

Hello, if your not going to use the printer on a daily basis then i would go ahead and turn off / even unplug if you wanted. The only time you would want to leave a device on is if you will be continually using it .. ex. with a fax machine you may not be using it but someone may be sending you faxes at random times.
