I have a division that is more than 1000 pages, and XPP has a page limit of 1000 for a division. Can I increase the number of pages a division handles? If so, how? Thanks.

Hi Beverly,
Although the list of choices for the Max Pages field in the JT (Job Ticket) is 'jumbo' (which equals 1000), this field does allow "arbitrary" values as well.
You can actually enter any number up to 32767 in this particular field (other numbers will just show as entered as they won't have a corresponding textual name).
The same is true for the Max Page Size and Max DLD Entries fields - the list of choices in the field pop-up are not the only values that can be entered (and each of these fields has a different maximum than the Max Pages field).
All of this is described in the XPP documentation.
The use of memory by XPP when dealing with a DIV in a JOB grows some in relation to the number you enter in this field (as well as the Max Page Size and Max DLD Entries fields), even if you are not using those maximum values in the set of DIVs in a JOB.
So it's a recommended best practice that you don't make these numbers in the JT a lot bigger than you actually need.
