Abstract
A medium processing apparatus includes a liquid applier, a post-processing device, and circuitry. The liquid applier applies liquid to a part of a medium, the medium being at least one medium. The post-processing device binds a bundle of media including the medium to which the liquid is applied by the liquid applier. The circuitry controls operations of the liquid applier and the post-processing device. The circuitry causes the liquid applier to apply different amounts of liquid to a plurality of sample areas in the medium.
