Abstract: We study the lateral distribution function (LDF) of signals in the IceTop air shower detector as a functionof distance from the air shower core. The completed IceTop detector consists of 81 stations with two tanks each. It cannow study the signals at distances approaching 1 km from the core position. We discuss the general shape of lateraldistributions of the signal and its dependence on the shower zenith angle and primary mass. We also show the simulatedindividual tank signal lateral distribution for a large number of simulated proton and iron showers. We find that the formof the lateral distribution function used for more widely spaced arrays of water Cherenkov detectors, Haverah Park andAuger in the EeV range, can also be used with appropriate parameters to describe IceTop data in the 10-100 PeV range
