Printing control device and printing control method

A printing control device comprising:

• a determination section configured to determine whether an elapsed time, which constitutes a time which elapses with no subsequent board being conveyed in since a point in time when a mask and a first board, on which a printer, configured to execute a printing process of printing a solder on the first board through an opening portion in the mask by a squeegee sliding on the mask, executes the printing process, are separated to convey out the first board, exceeds a predetermined allowable time;
• a first printing control section configured to cause the printer to execute the printing process for a first time on at least a second board which is conveyed in since the determination is made when the determination section determines that the elapsed time exceeds the allowable time;
• a movement controller configured to separate the mask and the second board from each other after the first printing control section executes the printing process for the first time and bring the mask and the second board into abutment with each other again after the separation;
• and
• a second printing control section configured to cause the printer to execute the printing process for a second time on the second board after the movement controller brings the mask and the second board into abutment with each other again.
