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}
Text

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

\section{Some Examples}
Text

\subsection{Sections}
Text

\clearpage
\subsection{Tables and Figures}
Text

\end{document}

  • How to remove page number in chapter title page.

  • @sandu In that case one may need more than two page styles. To be sure: How exactly should the first page of frontmatter chapters (e.g., the ToC) look like, and how the first page of main matter chapters?

  • The first page of frontmatter chapters (e.g., the ToC) and the first page of main matter chapters both look similar. No header or footer in the first page of chapter.

  • @sandu I'll assume they should be empty (without page number and without chapter title).
