How do you get a HID device such as a barcode scanner to work?

I saw a proceddure of 2011 listed here: HowTo: setting up VMware Fusion to work with HID devices

But when I add in the setting of that virtual machine told me when he starts that TRUE is not an option and sets it to FALSE.

Any thoughts?

Just out of curiosity why is this option not already the installer of the system?

This option is disabled (set to FALSE without needing to be in the .vmx config file) by default to prevent an ignorant user to lose control of the host by connecting the keyboard and the mouse from the host to the guest, who would accidentally be done once that usb.generic.allowHID is set to TRUE.
