Depends on whether the committee consider the card or computer to be the Scorecard for scoring purposes as defined by Rule 3.3b.
Computer entry would only be the appropriate formatt if there is a certification process that meets the definition if Scorecard.
If that is the case here then DQ is the penalty for a gross score recorded that is lower than the actual score.

As doublebogey7 said.

From your original post, it sounds like the traditional paper-based scorecard signed by player and marker is the scorecard format approved by the Committee.

If my assumption is correct, then there is no penalty for entering scores incorrectly on the computer. (Unless there is a relevant Code of Conduct in place, which I strongly doubt.)

Also note there would be no penalty for incorrectly adding up the scores on the scorecard. (Rule 3.3b(4))

3.3b(2)/1

Players Are Required to Enter Only Scores on a Scorecard

There is a difference between requiring players to enter a score for a round into a computer (such as for handicapping purposes) and being required to enter hole scores using an electronic form of scorecard approved by the Committee (such as a mobile scoring application).

The Committee may require players to use a scorecard other than a paper scorecard (such as an electronic form of scorecard), but the Committee has no authority to impose a penalty under Rule 3.3b(2) for failing to enter scores elsewhere.

However, to help in administrative matters (such as the efficient production and communication of competition results), a Committee may apply a penalty under a Code of Conduct (Rule 1.2b) or provide disciplinary sanctions (such as revoking entry into the next competition) for failing to enter scores elsewhere.
