The datasheet linked indicated that model has push-pull outputs, rather than open collector, so it actually is driving the output high rather than a simple pull-up. It doesn't specify what level it drives it to though.

If so, then you only need a resistor to pull it up to the desired voltage (like +5V) for it to meet TTL specs.
