paging down

Moving text downward

Paging down is scrolling through a document or screen one page-length at a time, moving toward the end.

The term comes from the Page Down key on computer keyboards, which advances content by roughly one screenful: I was paging down through the report when I found the error.

The opposite is paging up.
