<pre>The showpage operator is permitted in EPS files. It is usually included to
allow viewing/printing the EPS file without needing to include it in a PS file.
The EPS specification is available at:
<a href="https://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/ps/5002.EPSF_Spec.pdf">https://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/ps/5002.EPSF_Spec.pdf</a>
Section 3.2 of the specification states:
"The showpage operator is permitted in EPS files because it is present in so
many PostScript language files. Therefore, it is reasonable for an EPS file to
use the showpage operator, although it is not necessary if the EPS file will
only be imported into another document. The application importing the EPS file
is responsible for redefining showpage."
The sample EPS file in section 7 of the specification contains a showpage
operator.</pre>
