    Airborne emissions Kodak has a media qualification process that tests many types of media for various emissions. Certain media types require a Universal Debris Removal Cabinet (UDRC) to filter potentially harmful airborne emissions that are released during imaging.
  • Page 18 Chapter 2—Safe operation airborne emissions. If you have an imager, your system always includes a UDRC to filter potentially harmful particulate and gaseous airborne emissions. If you plan to switch media, or if you are uncertain whether your current media requires a UDRC, contact your service representative.
