Yes, you can take paracetamol (Tylenol) with codeine AS LONG AS the prescription does not say "APAP". APAP means that it already contains paracetamol which can increase risk of overdose and death.
As always with Codeine Phosphate, do not drive or operate heavy machinery after taking it. You may need to increase your intake of clear fluids, as Codeine is notorious for causing constipation. You should take this medication with food as taking on a empty stomach can cause upset stomachs. Also, do not take codeine for long periods of time, it is a narcotic and can be habit forming.
With Tylenol (paracetamol/acetaminophen/APAP) do not consume more than 4g (4000 mg) or 8 - extra strength (500 mg) tablets in any 24 hour period.
