Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic part mounting method which enables joining of electrodes at a low temperature and within a short time, can obtain the high reliability and, further, enables joining at a fine pitch. In an electronic part mounting method which joins circuit electrodes which are formed over a circuit board and die electrodes which are formed over the electronic parts thus mounting the electronic parts on the circuit board, a low-melting-point metal layer is preliminarily formed over the circuit electrode and/or the die electrode and, thereafter, the circuit electrode and the die electrode are arranged to face each other and are heated and pressurized for melting low-melting-point metal thus diffusing the low-melting-point metal into the circuit electrode and the die electrode by solid-liquid diffusion.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus including plural paper sheet feeding trays and an operating panel to input information for setting of copying operations. An image memory and a reading and recording portion scan character(s) in a predetermined area of documents and store the character(s) in the image memory. Further, a sorting portion sorts the scanned documents based on the character(s), and an output portion outputs copied document based on the stored characters.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an input device for inputting the number of copies for every distributing place; a memory for storing the number of copies inputted by the input device; a display for displaying the number of copies; an original automatic feeder for returning an exposed sheet of an original to an uppermost position of this original; a feeder for feeding a sheet to be transferred; a device for reversing the transferred sheet; a collective sorter for collecting and sorting the transferred sheet; a detector for detecting discharge of the transferred sheet; and a discharging controller having first, second and third discharging devices. The first discharging device discharges the transferred sheet to each of bins disposed in the collective sorter in accordance with the number of copies of the original inputted by the input device. The second discharging device arranges and discharges the transferred sheet in a page order of the original.
