Abstract: A substrate member is a manufacturing component of a module including electronic components mounted on a substrate and sealed with resin. The substrate member has substantially a plate-like shape and is to be the substrate later. A manufacturing process of the modules includes a mounting step of mounting electronic components on a component side of the substrate member, and a sealing step of supplying resin to flow on the component side so that the mounted electronic components are sealed with the resin. The mounting step includes mounting a first electronic component having substantially a flat mounting surface in a first mounting region specified on the component side so that a gap is formed between the mounting surface and the component side. The component side is provided with a first groove for boosting the resin to fill up the gap in the sealing step. Thus, insufficient filling of the resin in the gap between the substrate member and the electronic component is suppressed.

Abstract: An MFP (Multifunction Peripheral) transmits, when a user selects a mode, information representing the selected mode to a server. Receiving the information representing the mode from the MFP, the server reads extended functions corresponding to the received mode, forms display data for displaying the read extended function on the MFP, and transmits the formed display data to the MFP. Receiving the display data from the server, the MFP displays standard functions and displays the extended functions using the received display data, in an initial setting image for the mode selected by the user.
