3036 mode has not been in any new copiers for perhaps 6 years or so.
1087 mode is still the service tech access. What model TaskAlfa are you unable to get into simulation mode with? Some models just prior to the roll-out of the HyPass machines required you to press the Status key before entering 1087, everything since HyPass you enter from Copy mode screen.
