How many people leave their printer on 24/7 and what's the drawback if any? My old HP had a function that would turn it on and off on a schedule. TIA

You mean on and not allowed to sleep at all? Or on, and allowing it to sleep? I do the latter with my imageCLASS MF653Cdw which is very similar to the 753 version.

Yes, on and allowed to sleep. Just trying to do what's best for the printer.

As with other electronics, if you'll not be using the printer for an extended period of time (e.g. going away on vacation), it's always best to power down completely.

Other than that, a-ok to leave running in idle/sleep mode. Virtually all electronics now have an idle mode. They'll draw very little power and the advantage of such a mode is its much quicker to wake and start working than having to start up from being completely powered down.

Also,

Every time you turn on the printer it initializes the print heads which uses ink.

Ok, thanks. I didn't know it.

I believe this printer has a Toner Cartridge which includes the Print Drum, which functions in conjunction with the Fuser Assembly, and therefore does not use Ink. Therefore, I do not believe and toner is utilized at time of power-up?
