1. A medium processing apparatus, comprising: a casing configuring an internal space surrounded by a partitioning wall with an opening formed in the casing where there is no partitioning wall present; a reel disposed on a first side of the casing, and on which tape is wound, with the tape width being narrower than a long side of a rectangular shaped medium; a fold-back section provided on a second side, of the casing, that is opposite from the first side with the opening being disposed between the reel and the fold-back section, such that the tape pulled out from the reel passes across the opening and is folded back by the fold-back section; a drum formed in a circular cylindrical shape provided in the internal space so as to be rotatable with respect to the casing, such that a rectangular shaped medium fed in from outside the casing in landscape orientation is wound onto the drum together with the tape that has been folded back on itself by the fold-back section; a winding guide provided farther to a drum side than the tape spanning across between the reel and the fold-back section, such that the winding guide closes off the internal space from the outside of the casing and presses the tape and the medium against a peripheral face of the drum; and an opening and closing section configuring a portion of the winding guide and opening the internal space to the outside of the casing or closing off the internal space from the outside of the casing.
