Thank you everyone for your replies. I feel much braver about attempting to
begin scanning my documents. One question I forgot to ask was about colour
(added the word Colour to the subject line). So, thanks to everyone, I've
learned to scan a black and white text document as a 600 dpi TIF,
Black and white should/could be scanned as grayscale. I think you'll
find, if you try it, that black and white will not make a good scan. Why
color if there's no color in your document? Same with photos.

Always in color, especially for old photos and the like. It is easy to
edit down to gray scale if need be. Starting with gray scale, you can
easily lose/confuse detail, making retouching a lot harder. I generally
scan at 2400 dpi for important images, but then I have use of a canon
color copier
