The machine prints perfectly clear pages, but when making copies through either the doc feeder or on the glass, there is a section about 1" - 1 1/2" in from the edge, all down the left side, that is 'slid' up a quarter inch or so in relation to the other lines of type.

It would be cheaper to find a 1013spf meaning scan,print,fax. Finding all of the boards, wiring harness, ROM chips and control panel buttons needed to convert your machine would be pricy. Then you would need a service tech to install everything as well. You can find the "spf" versions used for less than $1,000 and you could get around $500 for yours.

Another post for another type of machine that I saw describes the problem better. If i copy a grid, the vertical lines will all be fine, but the horizontal lines will not all be connected.
the type is slid, slipped, crooked. and there is a slight ghosting of the first couple of letters, with the glass. through the doc feeder, it is a dark line included with the offset type.

Not sure if you saw this already, but suggestions seem to be part replacement which a repair person would charge you for.
