Both airlines use the same terminal (Terminal 2), and if you're in transit, you simply need to walk up the staircase/escalator in the middle of the arrivals concourse (indicated by a sign) before reaching immigration.
The only issue is that it is usually roped off, because there are so few transit passengers. I suggest that you let the airline agent that meets your flight on the jet bridge know what you're doing-- they can give you directions as to how to proceed; they are usually quite helpful. Failing that, there will be plenty of airport officials standing near the staircase/escalator-- one of them will be happy to help.
As an aside, the published minimum connecting time for your flights is 60 minutes.
Finally, even as a transit passenger, you will have to pay a departure tax of 150,000Rp ( a little under US$17). They will take US$20, but don't expect to get the interbank rate
