I just noticed that you incremented n by two so that the x axis does not
align with n. Just include the n values in the table.


$Version


"8.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (October 5, 2011)"


Needs["PlotLegends`"];


funcs = Table[
   {n, A ((Log[n] - 1)/(Log[n] + 1))},
   {A, 1000, 300, -100},
   {n, 4, 2000, 2}];


ListLinePlot[funcs,
 Frame -> True,
 Axes -> False,
 FrameLabel -> (Style[#, 14] & /@
    TraditionalForm /@ {n, f[A, n]}),
 PlotStyle -> ({AbsoluteThickness[2], #} & /@
    {Yellow, Red, Blue, Green,
     Orange, White, Black, Brown}), PlotLegend -> Range[1000, 300, -100],
 LegendLabel -> Style["Constant A", 12],
 LegendLabelSpace -> 1,
 LegendSpacing -> 0.01,
 ImageSize -> 800,
 LegendSize -> 1.0,
 LegendPosition -> {1.025, -0.225},
 ShadowBackground -> GrayLevel[.75],
 LegendBackground -> LightPurple,
 Background -> LightGray,
 Epilog -> Text[Style[
    f[A , n] == A ((Log[n] - 1)/(Log[n] + 1)) //
     TraditionalForm,
    14], {1000, 100}]]
