Claim:
1. A method of dispensing a first fluid pattern at a first dispense region and a second fluid pattern at a second dispense region, the first dispense region and the second dispense region being on one or more electronic substrates, the first dispense region and the second dispense region being positioned relative to a reference plane defined by a first axis and a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, the method comprising: determining a position of the first dispense region in the reference plane and a position of the second dispense region in the reference plane; determining a position of the first dispense region along a third axis and a position of the second dispense region along the third axis, the third axis being mutually orthogonal with the first axis and the second axis; moving a first applicator toward the first dispense region with a positioner, and moving a second applicator toward the second dispense region with the positioner; dispensing the first fluid pattern at the first dispense region with the first applicator while a first tip of the first applicator does not contact the first dispense region, and dispensing the second fluid pattern at the second dispense region with the second applicator while a second tip of the second applicator does not contact the second dispense region; and moving the second applicator relative to the first applicator in a direction along the third axis after the second applicator has started but before the second applicator has completed dispensing the second fluid pattern at the second dispense region.
