ABSTRACT:
In a printing apparatus and method, printing material is printed on to-be-printed circuit boards in a predetermined pattern and a printing state of the material is inspected. The apparatus includes the following devices. A board supporting device has a rotary body supporting a plurality of board-fixed tables to which the boards are secured, and turns the rotary body together with the board-fixed tables intermittently at predetermined angular intervals so as to stop the board-fixed tables at each of a fixing, recognizing, printing, and inspecting position. A board feed device feeds the boards to the board-fixed tables arranged at the fixing position. A board discharge device discharges the boards from the board-fixed tables arranged at the fixing position. A recognizing device recognizes fixed positions of the boards relative to the board-fixed tables at the recognizing position. A printing device prints the printing material on the boards at the printing position. An inspecting device inspects the printing state of the boards at the inspecting position. The method carries out the board-feeding, position recognizing, printing, printing-state-inspecting, and board-discharging operations by use of the corresponding devices.
