`AMENDMENTS TO THE CLAIMS:
`
`This listing of claims will replace all other versions and listings of claims in the application:
`
`Listing of Claims:
`
`1.
`
`(Currently amended) A printing device that prints solder of paste onto a board by causing a
`
`squeegee to slide with respect to a screen mask to which the solder is supplied, comprising:
`
`a storage that stores allowable time for which use of the solder supplied to the screen
`
`mask can be allowed;
`
`a timer that measures time for which the solder is supplied to the screen mask;
`
`a determination unit that determines whether or not use of the solder supplied to the
`
`screen mask has exceeded the allowable time; based on the time measured by the timer; and
`
`a notifier that notifies a worker in a case where the determination unit determines that
`
`the use of the solder supplied to the screen mask has exceeded the allowable time;
`
`wherein the timer weights a measurement interval measures—Hme—bwer—ghfi-ng—H—me for
`
`whieh a time measured when the solder is moved on the screen mask by the squeegee or a time
`
`measured when time—fiethieh the solder does not move on the screen mask.
`
`2. (Currently amended) The printing device of Claim 1;
`
`wherein Weighting; the weighted measurement interval causes the timer to measure
`
`
`time as~measui=es—ti-me—as—ti-me shorter than actually measured time for which the solder is moved
`
`on the screen mask by the squeegee.
`
`3. (Currently amended) The printing device of Claim 1;
`
`wherein the timer measures time by a number of counts that are counted at a
`
`predetermined measurement interval during—measuremen-t—eilti-me; and
`
`the timeiLmeasures—ti-me—bybweighti-ng—a weighted measurement interval ef—time for
`
`which the solder is moved on the screen mask by the squeegee i_s se—as—te—beeeme greater than a
`
`measurement interval ef—ti-me for which the solder does not move on the screen mask.
`
`4. (Original) The printing device of Claim 1; further comprising:
`
`a work prohibiting unit that prohibits work of printing the solder onto the board in a

`
`case where the determination unit determines that the use of the solder supplied to the screen
`
`mask has exceeded the allowable time.
`
`5. (Original) The printing device of Claim 4, further comprising:
`
`a solder storage unit that stores the solder before being supplied to the screen mask;
`
`identification information that is attached to the solder storage unit, and
`
`a recognizer that recognizes the identification information,
`
`wherein the work prohibiting unit prohibits work until the recognizer recognizes the
`
`identification information.
`
`6. (Currently amended) The printing device of Claim 1,
`
`wherein the timer—dees—net—measure—the—time—measurement interval for which the solder
`
`is moved on the screen mask by the squeegee is not weighted el-ue—te—the—wei—gh-ti-n-g.
`
`7.
`
`(Currently amended) A solder management system including a printing device that
`
`prints solder of paste onto a board by causing a squeegee to slide with respect to a screen mask to
`
`which the solder is supplied, comprising:
`
`a storage that stores allowable time for which use of the solder supplied to the screen
`
`mask can be allowed,
`
`a timer that measures time for which the solder is supplied to the screen mask,
`
`a determination unit that determines whether or not use of the solder supplied to the
`
`screen mask has exceeded the allowable time, based on the time measured by the timer, and
`
`a notifier that notifies a worker in a case where the determination unit determines that
`
`the use of the solder supplied to the screen mask has exceeded the allowable time,
`
`wherein a measurement interval is weighted when measuring a time the—timenmeasures
`
`Weighting—time for which the solder is moved on the screen mask by the squeegee or a
`
`time for which the solder does not move on the screen mask.
`
`8. (Currently amended) The solder management system of Claim 7,
`
`wherein the measurement
`
`interval
`
`is wei hted such that a measured time is by
`
`werghtr—ngfihe—H—mer—measures—Hme—as—Hme shorter than actually measured time for which the

`
`solder is moved on the screen mask by the squeegee.
`
`9. (Currently amended) The solder management system of Claim 7,
`
`wherein the timer measures time by a number of counts that are counted at a
`
`predetermined measurement interval during—measuremem—etlti-me, and
`
`the weighted measurement interval HmeFmeasures—Hme—btherglmng—a—measurement

`
`screen mask.
`
`10. (Original) The solder management system of Claim 7, further comprising:
`
`a work prohibiting unit that prohibits work of printing the solder onto the board in a
`
`case where the determination unit determines that the use the solder supplied to the screen mask
`
`has exceeded the allowable time.
`
`11. (Original) The solder management system of Claim 10, further comprising:
`
`a solder storage unit that stores the solder before being supplied to the screen mask;
`
`identification information that is attached to the solder storage unit, and
`
`a recognizer that recognizes the identification information,
`
`wherein the work prohibiting unit prohibits work until the recognizer recognizes the
`
`identification information.
`
`12. (Currently amended) The solder management system of Claims 7,

`
`measuring time for which solder is supplied to the screen mask with a timer: wherein a
`
`measurement interval is weighted for a Weighting—time for which the solder is moved on the
`
`screen mask by the squeegee or atime for which the solder does not move on the screen mask;
`
`determining: with a determination unit: whether or not use of the solder supplied to the
`
`screen mask has exceeded the allowable time, based on the time measured by the timer i-n—the
