Press the left SHIFT key to move your finger away from the ALT button while typing '5' or '8', then release the keys.

Hold down the left Alt key while typing 58 on your number pad, then lift your finger off the key.

Thanks for your reply. I tested this, but it prints out the digits as separate numbers rather than combining them with a colon.
