It's OK to print from your SD card provided that:
1. Your printer is working perfectly
2. You don't want to do anything like pre-heating your extruder, or extruding a few mm of filament to make sure everything is OK.
3. You don't want to preview a print, ot follow what is happening as it is printing.
