Kyocera FS-1135MFP Fax help?

[LilSnoop40]

question, i don't know how to send receive a fax. i have contacted the people at Kyocera and they weren't very helpful. i have the printer at my house, it was in an office before probably that had a dedicated fax line. now that the printer is at my house i have 1 line but there is a fax number and a phone number attached to it. not sure what that is called, but currently i have a brother printer and when a fax comes through with the line from the wall plugged into the line on the brother printer/fax it works. if i remove the line that is plugged into the brother fax and put into the Kyocera printer/fax in the line spot on the back or top nothing happens. the people at Kyocera said plug the line in and that's all i have to do but it doesn't work. but if i plug it back in the brother they were able to send a fax with no issues. i am wondering if there is a setting i have to do but they can't tell me?? hopefully someone else can.

thank you

bsm2 - you are very help. is the DRPD feature a setting i must set first since he has (one phone line can have two phone numbers assigned to it, each with a distinctive ring) and answer only on select rings. one of the phone numbers is the home number and the other number is fax line. so i will set it to DRD following your instructions above. how do i know what ring pattern to setup. i thought he told me now when the line is hooked up to his brother fax it goes ring, ring pause 3 times.

hopefully my questions aren't dumb as i have no idea what i am doing when it comes to the fax side of this machine. all the other functions no issues.

Thank you
