An adhesive tape dispenser includes a tape roll housing holding a cutter blade, a protective member mounted in the tape roll housing and movable relative to the tape roll housing to a first position to expose the cutter blade, a front cover mounted in the tape roll housing in such a manner that the front cover is prohibited from being opened when the protective member is in the first position, or can be opened or received when the protective member is moved to a second position. Further, the cutter blade can be mounted in a cutter holder that is installed in the tape roll housing. With the slidable or biasable design of the protective member and the front cover, the user can selectively expose the cutter blade or enable the cutter blade to be blocked.

Medium processing apparatus and image forming system incorporating same

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.
