Pagination in papyri is infrequent and when it does occur it is often the work of an editor, perhaps a librarian Consistent pagination began to occur in codices in the early third century Many great codices of the fourth century have no pagination When pagination is occurs, the numbers appear in the center of the upper margin or the top outside edge Some scribes only numbered the even-numbered pages Occasionally leaves, not pages, are numbered Numeration is also used for the numbering of quires
The assignment of numbers to the pages in a document Logically, one would think that one number simply followed another, but in word processing jobs, allowances can be made for objects such as charts and blank pages, which the author might want excluded from the logical numbering sequence Word processing programs also automatically divide text into single pages Without this function a document would appear to be one continuous page
Describes how books are broken into pages after initial typesetting Pagination is particularly critical in picture books, where space is usually limited to 24 or 32 pages (including front and back matter) and illustration must be generously accommodated
The assignment of page numbers, either manually or electronically, in a document In computer graphics, it also includes the merging of text and graphics on the video screen interactively or in batch mode
The process of defining where page breaks will occur Involves setting page length, size or number of lines and, where required, the setting of page numbering
