Abstract

Abstract A electrically conductive sheet stuck onto a medium is picked up by a camera so as to detect the sticking position of the electrically conductive sheet on the medium, and the sticking condition of the electrically conductive sheet is compared with a predetermined pattern so as to determine whether the sticking condition of the electrically conductive sheet is satisfactory or not. That is, the check of the sticking condition of the electrically conductive sheet is automated. Further, a position where the sticking of the electrically conductive sheet is inferior is indexed in accordance with the result of the check, and the retry operation for sticking again the electrically conductive sheet can be automatically made.
