I bought a Yongnuo RF-600TX transmitter and it doesn't seem to trigger my Yongnuo YN-560 IV flash. Is the RF-600TX compatible with the YN-560 IV, and if so, what settings do I need to change on the flash to make them work together?

The RF-600TX is a Yongnuo RF-602 transmitter (just without the PC input port on top).
The YN-560 IV defaults to using the RF-603 communication protocol, which is different. You have to set it to use the 602 communication protocol if you want to remotely fire your flash from an RF-600TX transmitter.
The manual says that this is an "Advanced Options Setting". To access it:
Press the [Illumination/Sound] and [MODE] buttons at the same time to enter the menu for setting the options.
Press the [UP] or [DOWN] buttons until you are on the rF setting.
Press the [RIGHT] or [LEFT] button to change the setting from 60 3 to 60 2.
There aren't instructions in the manual for getting out of the menu, but I'd assume hitting the [SET] button in the middle of the four-way buttons would do it.
After you've done that, so long as the flash is in radio slave mode and set to use the same channel as your RF-600TX, they should communicate with each other.

Yes — the RF-600TX can work with the YN-560 IV, but the flash must be switched to the correct radio protocol.
The RF-600TX uses the RF-602 protocol, while the YN-560 IV normally defaults to RF-603. If the flash is left on RF-603, it won’t respond to the RF-600TX.
On the YN-560 IV, change the wireless setting to RF-602:
- Press the Illumination/Sound and MODE buttons together to enter the advanced options menu.
- Use the UP/DOWN buttons to find the rF setting.
- Use the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to change it from 603 to 602.
- Confirm/exit with SET if needed.
Once the flash is set to RF-602, it should be able to fire from the RF-600TX. Also make sure both units are on the same channel and that the flash is in a radio-triggered mode.
