I don't know the side effects of changing the graphics device, so
I usually use the following setup in a fixed sequence.

1st set_plot ; select device
2nd device, decomposed=0, /color, .... ; set device properties
3rd ... more device options ; set page properties
4th loadcolors ; set color for next page
5th ... more setup ; more setup for page
6th ... setup for first plot
