Abstract: An electronic component mounting system mounts an electronic component on a substrate to manufacture a mounting substrate, and can prevent a mounting failure due to a positional error in a height direction of a substrate and ensure mounting quality. A print test device for testing the substrate after solder printing measures a height position of a height measurement point set on the upper surface of the substrate 4 by a height measuring machine 22 and outputs a measurement result as substrate height data.
