No. It is a monochrome thermal label printer. It prints black with a standard black ribbon or another single color when a compatible colored thermal transfer ribbon is used. It is not a full-color label printer.
Can it print with or without a ribbon?
Yes. It supports thermal transfer printing with a ribbon and direct thermal printing on compatible heat-sensitive media without a ribbon.
Does this exact configuration include Wi-Fi, a cutter, a peeler, or RFID?
No. ZT23143-T01000FZ does not include Wi-Fi, a cutter, a peeler, or RFID. Field-installable options may be available subject to compatibility and quotation.
Can it print from Windows or macOS?

That depends on the customer's software workflow, operating system, label dimensions, file format, and printer configuration. Direct MRPeasy integration is not promised. ForeFront can review the intended workflow before purchase.
