You cannot copy a System Control function to another System Control button. The sequence is too long to send it to another remote and then send it back to the 3000. It would be practically impossible to capture the discrete code signal from amongst all the other signals. And there is no discrete off button in the 3000; only a discrete on. Therefore, the best method is to go the discrete code route, since you already have the 2104.
Remember, to clear the signals on SC1 and SC3, (the manual is wrong) press Commander off/system key, then the DEL key/sc1 or sc3 key. This will allow you to reprogram them with your own macros.
For a list of discrete codes, and how to use them, go to

Well, after I sent this, I played with my 3000 and found out that you can use the Power on command on page 43 of the manual in a macro. It still won't get you a power off without another remote, but if you were satisfied with power on only, you could do this. I didn't think it would work until I tested it, but it does work. As marcj said, there is some dummy getting sadistic pleasure in leaving out a key command.
