Abstract
A medium processing apparatus includes a conveyor, a liquid applier, and a crimper. The conveyor conveys a medium. The liquid applier applies liquid to the medium conveyed by the conveyor. The crimper presses and deforms a medium bundle including at least one medium to which the liquid is applied by the liquid applier, to bind the medium bundle. The liquid applier selectively performs application of the liquid to all media constituting the medium bundle or application of the liquid to only some of the media constituting the medium bundle, based on a conveyance interval at which the media are conveyed by the conveyor.
