Abstract

To provide a medium processing device comprising a rust adhesion prevention mode for preventing moisture adhering to or rust generated in a press binding mechanism from adhering to other medium by causing the moisture or the rust to adhere to a specific medium in a liquid imparting press binding mechanism.SOLUTION: There is provided a medium processing device comprising: liquid imparting means with a liquid imparting member for imparting liquid to a part of at least one medium; medium processing means for executing binding operation on a medium bundle including at least one medium imparted with liquid or at least one medium; and control means for controlling operation of the liquid imparting means and the medium processing means according to an operation mode. The control means comprises, in the medium processing means, a liquid imparting binding operation mode for executing binding operation on a medium bundle including at least one medium imparted with liquid and a rust adhesion prevention mode for executing binding operation on at least one medium without imparting liquid.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 19
