Zend_Paginator has several configuration methods that can be called: Method Description setCurrentPageNumber Sets the current page number (default 1). setItemCountPerPage Sets the maximum number of items to display on a page (default 10). setPageRange Sets the number of items to display in the pagination control (default 10). Note: Most of the time this number will be adhered to exactly, but scrolling styles do have the option of only using it as a guideline or starting value (e.g., Elastic). setView Sets the view instance, for rendering convenience.
