In addition to all operators in statusdict and the operators in userdict for establishing an imageable area, the following operators must not be used in an EPS file: banddevice exitserver initmatrix setshared clear framedevice quit startjob cleardictstack grestoreall renderbands copypage initclip setglobal erasepage initgraphics setpagedevice If used properly, the following operators are allowed in an EPS file.
