     The user may have to adjust a setting in the Android to allow the PC to show the Android as a drive when 
     the USB cable is connected.

2.) Network or Internet file sharing apps may exist to allow a remote user to view or transfer files.

Example application:
In the electronic door lock industry involving card access for commercial buildings and hotels, some card key encoder machines can output an audit report to a printer.
Such units may be Onity Encoder HT series that have a printer port on the back.  or also VingCard encoder units.   Some printers that may connect to this are
Epson C88 w. LPT, Brother MFC 8480DN w. LPT, or Okidata and Panasonic dot matrix printers, and some ink jet printers that have the LPT port..
Users may wish to collect audit reports from the encoder without using a printer.   In this case the Model UNIPRINT adapter can be considered.
It has the advantage of being able to collect the reports electronically to a file.   The UNIPRINT adapter can also be used "on the spot" when
visiting the machine to collect the report wirelessly to a phone or tablet. Just be within 40 feet of the Onity HT encoder and run the UNIPRINT app on the phone.
The phone will automatically connect the Bluetooth and display/record the report when sent from the encoder.   Some Onity models may include
 HT22-I,HT22-R, HT22-P, HT22-M or generally any models that have the DB25 25 pin LPT Parallel Port connector on the back,  -similarily for VingCard card encoders.
