Abstract: A medium processing apparatus includes a liquid applier, a post-processing device, a liquid storage unit, a liquid detector, and circuitry. The liquid applier applies liquid to a part of at least one medium. The post-processing device performs a given process on a bundle of media. The liquid storage unit stores the liquid. The liquid detector detects the liquid in the liquid storage unit. The circuitry is to determine whether to cause the liquid applier to apply the liquid on the at least one medium based on a detection result of the liquid detector, and set a number of times of application of the liquid to be equal to or less than a given number of times of application of the liquid when the liquid detector does not detect the liquid in the liquid storage unit.

Abstract: A medium processing apparatus includes a liquid applier, a binder, a mover, first and second rotators. The first rotator rotates the binder between a first inclined posture and a first parallel posture. The second rotator rotates the liquid applier between a second inclined posture and a second parallel posture, and includes a posture change assembly and a collision avoidance assembly. The posture change assembly changes the posture of the liquid applier from the second inclined or parallel posture to the second parallel or inclined posture at a posture changing position. The collision avoidance assembly allows the binder in the first inclined posture to pass a restriction position, and restricts the binder in the first parallel posture from passing through the restriction position. The binder reaches the restriction position before the liquid applier reaches the posture changing position.

The liquid flow limiter limits a flow of the liquid from at least one of the first liquid storage or the second liquid storage in response to a detection of the leakage by the liquid leakage detector.
