Canada PostBar Barcode Encoding

Question

I am working on software for encoding mailing addresses using the PostBar barcode symbology used in Canada.

I can not find the relevant information for these codes. Wikipedia describes PostBars, but with the caveat that the article refers to type D12, while Canadian Post actually uses types D52.01 / D82.01 / S52.40 and S82.39, which are different and undocumented. (I also know the document "CANADA POST CORPORATION 4-STATE BAR CODE HANDBOOK", which does not help.)

I need the features of field coding (DCI, zip code, address locator ...) and Reed-Solomon parity bit parameters.

I am not involved in an implementation that I can create on my own. Thank you in advance for any feedback.

This is the only thing I could find on this subject. I'm not afraid:
