All the rulers developed so far have been intended for Online Report Viewing. When you exited these rulers, you defined them as View rulers. Additionally, rulers can be defined as Print rulers.
Print rulers are rulers that reformat a report for printing. You can eliminate unnecessary fields from a 132-column report in order to reduce its width to 80 columns (or less) for printing on an 80-column remote printer by using a Print ruler.
Print rulers may be designed "from scratch" or they may be modified or unmodified copies of existing Print or View rulers.
Follow these steps to save one of the existing View rulers as a Print ruler.
