Scanning to file

It could be due to the printer driver not installed properly. Try to uninstall your existing printer driver then re-install using the driver from the Lexmark website. To uninstall, on your computer, go to Start menu > Programs > Lexmark 5100 Series folder > Tools > Uninstall. Reboot pc when prompted.
When your computer turns on, please visit the Lexmark website to download and install the Lexmark X5150 Printer Driver on your computer. Select your operating system > click on "FILTER" > click on the driver under Recommended Downloads > download and execute the file. Simply follow the instructions on your computer screen to complete the installation.

Make sure the USB cable connection is properly secured in the back of the printer and your computer. If you have a firewall enabled, make sure to allow all Lexmark softwares and printer communications to go through.

Download the Lexmark X5150 User's Guide available at http://bit.ly/aSItHD. Scroll to page 22 for the Scanning instructions. The Lexmark scan software is available in the installation disk. Thank you for choosing Lexmark.

Lift the cover where you place originals to scan / fax, and clean the narrow scanner glass underneath. There are simply some specs of dirt that when the original is scanned across them, they show up as lines

I would suggest scanning each page into their own file, convert each into a .pdf, and then using a free program to combine the .pdf pages.
