type (with typewriter) or hand-print (to look like typewritten, but printed by hand)

Explanation:
since many answer sheets and forms are machine-scanned or have data-entry people transcribing them, they DO NOT want to have to figure or guess what the answer given is. it must be in a standard lettering. some forms say "write clearly" when it is hand-written.
