Using an IR slot sensor with the BS?

I have several IR slot sensors from an inkjet. How would I interface these to a basic stamp?

My understanding is that you apply a voltage on the IR transmitter and the IR receiver gives an open collector output (no resistance if nothing in the slot and high resistance if blocking). The pcb cards they came from have a resistor and capacitor. What do these do?

Any ideas?
