The negative mark is balanced by a positive mark on the set key scale while the jaws are closed.
It is common practice to shut the jaws or faces of the system before taking some reading to guarantee a zero reading. If not, please take care of the read. This read is referred to as "zero defect."
There are two forms of zero error:
zero-mistake positive; and
Non-null mistake.
