An instrument has been signed if the maker or drawer has put a name or other symbol on it with the intention of validating it [3-401(b)].Normally,the maker or drawer signs an instrument by writing his name on it;however,this is not required.A person or company may authorize an agent to sign instruments for it.A typed or rubber-stamped signature is sufficient if it was put on the instrument to validate it.A person who cannot write her name might make an X or some other symbol and have it witnessed by someone else.
