Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a printed circuit board, comprising: a mounting range setting step wherein a plurality of areas each used as a base board of a printed circuit board are assigned to a single original board from which a plurality of printed circuit boards are obtainable, an automatic mounting area is set in each of the plurality of areas for a chip parts mounter to mount surface mount parts for forming a printed circuit board corresponding to each of the plurality of areas assigned for the base board of each of the printed circuit boards, and an automatic mounting range is set in a range covering all the automatic mounting areas in each area of the plurality of areas where the base board of each of the printed circuit boards is assigned; wherein the mounting range setting step is such that the automatic mounting range is set within a predetermined range on the single original board and within which the chip parts mounter mounts collectively by a single mounting operation the surface mount parts in a plurality of the automatic mounting areas in the plurality of areas on the single original board.
