A printed circuit board inspection apparatus generates at least one image indicating whether an anomaly associated with a plurality of solder pastes printed on a first printed circuit board is detected, if an anomaly in at least one solder paste of the plurality of solder pastes is detected by using an image of the first printed circuit board, obtains at least one value indicating relevance between at least one fault type and the generated at least one image, using the machine-learning based model, and determines a fault type associated with the at least one solder paste in which the anomaly is detected from at least one fault type, based on the obtained at least one value.
