Abstract
Disclosed is a printing apparatus which comprises: a base; a frame member installed on the base; a printing section supported by the frame member to subject a board to printing; a board conveying segment provided on the base displaceably; a control section for controlling the driving of the board conveying segment; a mark provided on the frame member; and an image pickup section mounted on the board conveying segment to pick up an image of the mark, wherein the control section is operable to cause the board conveying segment to be displaced so as to allow a board to be set in the printing zone, and, based on the image of the mark picked up by the image pickup section, to perform a strain compensation for correcting an error in displacement of the board conveying segment due to a strain of the driving mechanism.
