Section 4 says:

   QR codes have a limited ability to store binary data.  In practice,
   binary data have to be encoded in characters according to one of the
   modes already defined in the standard for QR codes.  The easiest mode
   to use in called Alphanumeric mode (see Section 7.3.4 and Table 2 of
   [ISO18004].  Unfortunately Alphanumeric mode uses 45 different
   characters which implies neither Base32 nor Base64 are very effective
   encodings.
