After getting out of my printer, but I need you to go back to the beginning of the paper automatically.

Don't shout! You haven't given us anywhere near enough information to help you.
Apart from that I've never heard of a dot-matrix printer that could go backwards

1) How are you doing the printing at the moment - by .NET PrintDocument or by direct printer commands? Please put some code for us to see.

2) What is the make and model of the printer?

My KX-P1150 printer panasonic me. In fact, my problem is not related to the code I've used. After receiving the output issue again appeared ready for a new location to find a block of code that will bring.

So - when your printer has printed a line you want the paper to move back so the next line will go over the top of the current line?

I just need a code that will make this process

It's not urgent at all and I have never met a dot matrix printer that could go backwards.

You are just thinking on abuse of the technology. It makes no sense. The one-pass printer operation is just fine, you can print whatever you want. The need of rewind back means that you did not prepare appropriate data in first place. It's apparent that it is always possible. Review your output logic, instead of looking for tricks.

You will need to send the Epson escape code to your printer - see this manual[^]

I suggest you look for the manual in your native language.

ESC (V 0 should probably do it..
