PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To rapidly and surely detect nozzle defect.;SOLUTION: The method of plotting by discharging functional liquid drops from a plurality of nozzles 38 while scanning a functional liquid drop discharge head 7 relatively to a material W to be plotted on which a detection region K to plot a detection pattern K and an actual plotting region C to plot an actual plotting pattern are set in a series of plotting action is provided with a detection plotting process of plotting the detection pattern on the detection region by discharging the functional liquid drops from the whole of a plurality of the nozzles, an actual plotting process of plotting the actual plotting pattern on the actual plotting region by discharging the functional liquid drops selectively from a plurality of the nozzle and a nozzle defect detecting process of detecting discharge defect of the individual nozzle in a plurality of the nozzles based on the plotting of the detection pattern.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
