We present and discuss the low resolution absolute calibration for the LWP camera of the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE). The calibration, implemented in routine processing of LWP low resolution images on December 22, 1987 at both GSFC and VILSPA IUE ground stations, is based on the last set of Intensity Transfer Function (ITF 2) obtained in September 1984 and on a substantially larger amount of IUE observations of standard stars than used for the preliminary calibration by Cassatella & Harris (1983) based on the earlier ITF (ITF 1). The new ITF and the associated calibration provide upgraded performances in flux accuracy, signal-to-noise ratio and linearity with respect to the earlier LWP ITF1 which was implemented in processing LWP data obtained in the period from October 16, 1983 until December 21, 1987.
