A cartridge, having recording media rotatably mounted therein, is shown to include an enclosure substantially surrounding the media and defining a chamber, wherein a differential pressure region is created when the media is rotating. The enclosure is further shown to have a passage, wherein at least one end of said passage is in communication with the differential pressure region so that air moves through said passage. A filter is also shown positioned within said passage to remove particulate material from air flowing through the passage.
