Modes 2 and 3 are defined by the way the postal code, class
of service, and country code fields are arranged. (The postal
code, class of service, and country code are required fields.)
Begin with the message header, then the primary data (15
characters), followed by the secondary message (up to 78

message header, followed by the secondary data. If the postal
code data characters are all numeric then the MaxiCode

or only contain ASCII characters 65 to 90, then the MaxiCode
symbol is set to Mode 3.
