Abstract
A medium processing apparatus includes a conveyor, a liquid applier, and a crimper. The conveyor conveys a medium in a conveyance direction. The liquid applier applies liquid to a liquid application position on the medium conveyed by the conveyor. The crimper presses and deforms the liquid application position on a plurality of media including the medium to bind the plurality of media. The liquid applier includes a liquid application rotator configured to rotate, in contact with the medium conveyed by the conveyor, about a pivot extending in a main scanning direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the medium and to a thickness direction of the medium, to apply the liquid to the medium.
