Visa Application Inquiry

I am trying to fill out the z visa application form and have multiple questions regarding certain information. I have already searched the Chinese Consulate's website for answers in relation to the application process. I have also downloaded a instruction guide that assists with the application, but instructions are very vague. Also, am I permitted to write the information, or do they require the applications to be typed? If so, the text boxes are quite small in order to fit all necessary information into them. I appreciate all feedback and answers.

Regards,
Aaron
