By default it should pause every 24 lines. In your account defaults, what is
your page break set to?

If all else fails you can display today's callers using a short script like so:

RESUMEPAGEBREAK
NEWPAGE
CLS
LISTCALLERS
PAUSE

That will make sure page breaks are on, reset the line counter, clear the
screen, display the callers and then pause at the end.
