Scroll back in dot matrix using dos command

[shasha960]

i am currently working in a windows form application(vb.net) on billing process(petrol bunk). i'm using dot matrix printer(TVS dot matrix msp series) in this.
here the printing section is worked well. but the problem is after printing the bill the paper has to be scrolled back.
i want to know how to do this using command mode.

Check the printer's manual for the printer's control codes. Once you find the one for going back up one line, all you need to do is spam it however many times you need to bring it back in whatever position you want.

Assuming system device names haven't changed since DOS, that would go something like:

echo whatever-you-want-to-send > lpt1

What you want to send may require escape characters.

thanks for your reply.....
I got the output. what I did is?
.... find ESC sequence for dot matrix printer....
....using that values I create a small program in c....
....that programme contains reverse feed values....
....then I call that exe file(generated by c programme) via vb.net whenever I need.....
thank u.....................
