Best Answer

Use the scrplain pagestyle for \frontmatter, and switch to scrheadings for \mainmatter. Optionally, redefine the \chapterpagestyle command at \mainmatter. If you want the first pages of frontmatter and mainmatter chapters to show no header/footer at all, add \renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{empty} to the preamble.

\documentclass[12pt]{scrbook}

\usepackage{scrpage2}
\clearscrheadfoot
\ohead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}
\ihead{\leftmark}

\renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{empty}

\begin{document}

\frontmatter
\pagestyle{scrplain}

\title{Your Paper}
\author{You}
\maketitle

\tableofcontents

\mainmatter
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
% \renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{scrheadings}% optional

\chapter{First}
\section{Introduction}

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\clearpage}% just for the example
