Product Overview Static Control’s ChipChecker identifies chip type, color and functionality while maintaining the “new" status of the chip, eliminating the need for testing in a printer! When the probe is placed on the chip contact and LCD screen indicates chip “pass" (green light), “fail" (red light), chip type and chip color. Chips can be checked before being placed on the cartridge or after. Either way, nothing is written to the chip and they retain their “new" status. The ChipChecker works only with new Static Control chips. Does not work with used, OEM or competitive chips
